Cover art for Danny Says lyrics by Less Than Jake

I'm pretty sure this song is about a kid named Danny who got into a scene (be it ska, punk, or something else) when it was dying down, and all of the people who were there from the start are talking about the "good old days" and he's bummed & burnt out because he'll never get to experience any of it. I don't know if this is right or not, but it's just my take on it.
