I can't believe this song haven't been commented yet. It's one of Van's best songs, and one of the highlights from Back On Top, one of Van's best albums too. I think it's just about people that talk cheaply about celebrity's life, inventing a lot of things just too get richer or to destroy the celebrity's image. I think it's a bit sad too, when he says "So faaar away... way back when,,, the people that claim, to have known me them" I think it is also a nostalgic son. Reading what people say/invent of him, reminds him of old situations and that bring his mind to the past and he starts to remember his days as a young man and feels that "time is slippin' away" so quickly..
