I agree with most of what everyone has already said.

About the people being real. .. I wouldnt say a LOT of the people are real, but quite a few of them are. At least for Ben Folds Five anyway.. ie Eddie Walker, Alice Childress..

As for the song. I disagree somewhat with your name here. i think it's about Fred getting fired, but i also think it alludes to Fred's death. .. It's time for his death, and yet there's so much he hasnt done... I agree with Renzoku. We're all fairly meaningless in the grand scheme of things. How sad.

The music in this song is absolutely gorgeous. Props to Larry Corbett on the cello.. and of course Ben on the piano. :)
