Greta

what part does the brahma bull play in the song? I always assumed it was Georgia Southern's mascot. After all, you have references to the University of Georgia (the Bulldogs) and George Tech (Yellowjackets)

for some reason Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John popped into my head a few days ago and so I decide to investigate. There's a few lines that go - So goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl - and so I'm at a small Jojo Hermann show and everyone was howling at the lines in this song and I thought - so if these are the dogs of society then the yellow brick road might not be too far away if not right under my feet.

[Edit: spelling]

This is a true story: Greta hippie-looking, kinda groovy bartender in Athens, waaaaay back in the day. I think Jojo used to date her. She had an episode where an intruder tried to break into her house one night...she was alone and only had her dog to protect her. Pissed off (In a fighting mood) at the intruder (who attempted to climb in through her bedroom window after "pawing" at the front door and finding it locked), she sicked her dog on him. The dog mauled the intruder's face, leaving him hospitalized. Greta was ticketed and got into trouble for the incident by her landlord. Her gun was confiscated after the incident.

Huh, I knew she was a bartender at the Nowhere bar & now works at Browncat, but I'd never heard that story. I assumed the "gun" was a bar gun (which dispenses soda), silent hurricane was a hurricane (the new orleans drink), and the dogs and yellowjackets were duelling UGA & Gtech fans...

I have heard the bartender story, but never to that detail. Thanks.

This song has always been likened to environmental issues. That mother nature (greta) is getting mad abot the state of the earth, and is fighting back.
