"There's a foot clinic in Silver Lake that has a revolving sign with a sad, frowning foot on crutches on one side, and a happy, healthy foot on the other side. As soon as I first saw this I developed a pathological superstition where whichever side was facing me just as I drove by would dictate the kind of day I was going to have, i.e., sad side: bad day, happy side: good day. Years later I learned that Beck lived up the road from it and had the same superstition, of course."
Says E of this song:
