Doh! Posted that in wrong spot. Here it is in the right spot, I guess. - We could go right to the horse’s mouth since Dave has told us about this song. It’s a real event that took place in Downey when he was in his early 20’s. It took him eight years to write the song, originally for the Blasters but it wasn’t recorded beyond a demo for a Warner Brother produced by Nick Lowe and Dave was already out of the band. Dave’s version on Romeo’s escape is not the first released or recorded version. He had already recorded it with X during his time with them and the See How We Are version came out first. Regarding it being a breakup song- he said he will play it both ways. Some nights it a make up song and some nights it’s a breakup song. So everyone is right! Google “where does Dave Alvin’s 4th of July take place” and the article will come up with way more detail. |

Or, and hear me out because I know this is a crazy idea, we could just ask Elvis what it means. Because he has explained it multiple times and his meaning is as close as the Wikipedia page for this song. |
