@[gummomohawk:19524]. Agreed, completely in fact, but there's a specific too - James Dean, who died in '55. ("Dusty Frames that still arrive. Die in 1955"). & he starred in Rebel Without A Cause and was mocked offscreen in it. So circa mid '70s Chris & Debbie had certainly seen old Dean films on tv, long after he died- Fade Away And Radiate. |

James Dean. Period. "Hidden voices, mock your words"- rebel without a cause, his most iconic film. "Dusty frames that still arrive - die in 1955." He died, age 24, in 1955. Sure it's about watching old films on tv, and is a trippy song, but it is about watching old Dean movies, long AFTER he's gone: "Fade Away And Radiate." It like most good music is poetry. I've done plenty of drugs, yet I know that. and recognize it's subject to boot. |
