Garden Party Lyrics

Pretty good song. I've heard it a few times and I hear it has some hidden meanings like American Pie. Does anyone know them?

Someone told me that Ricky Nelson had become a long-haired hippy freak during the 70's and got into hard rock music. A look and music that didn't really fit him. He played a concert (Madison Square Garden?) where he mixed his new hard rock music in with his past music and the crowd didn't buy into it, they only wanted to hear his hits. He DID get booed and he was shook by it. This song was in response to this traumatic event in his life.
