Rick Nelson wrote this song after appearing at a show at Madison Square Garden (hence the name Garden Party). It was a show that was supposed to feature oldies acts doing all their old songs that got them famous and kept them famous. He said he didn't want to do the old songs, and when he came onstage with long hair and a beard with his new band, he was booed offstage.
