Surfpico is correct. Billy was living in California at the time and after reading the article decided to move back to New York. He had this idea of total destruction of the city while on the flight home. This song is off the Turnstiles album which includes Say Goodbye to Hollywood and New York State of Mind.
bigmac89 the written line does say Mexico however, there are some live versions that Billy has changed it to Jericho. |

This song is about Elle Macpherson as Uncle Monkey pointed out earlier. From Billy's Greatest Hits Volume 3 DVD interview he explains how the song is about a doomed love. Loving someone but realizing that the relationship is not going to last. I have seen another interview of his where he explains that Elle was a lot younger than him and he knew it wasn't going to last. The song was written a long time before Storm Front came out. |

This song is in fact NOT about Christie Brinkley. The song was written about Elle Macpherson. Billy happened to be dating Christie when the song came out and it was the video director's idea to put her in the video. |
