The lyrics posted for this are wrong. It is not "He's waving a shoe" it is "He' waving at you" and it is not "Gutterways for memories" it is Cut aways for memories, which is a term used in film making. This song is about living your life on the other side of a camera lens. The F-Stop on a camera detemines how much light is let through, making your picture or frame either "Hot" or " Cold". The song is about being a spectator and not a participant to many greta things, which I am sure has been nittersweet for J. Johnson. I had never heard the Rob Machado story but it sounds very believable as Rob is known for having no sea-legs. A killer song, especially in the Sept. Sessions movie.
