Cover art for Self Destructive Zones lyrics by Drive-By Truckers

The key line is in the second verse. This is the story of the The Dragon, which is Rock'n Roll. Its a story of all the people that are chewed up and spit out in the end.

Rock 'n roll is self destructive with the booze, women, drugs, travel, money, etc. Nobody cares if you're rich or fat or dead in the end because its just a party.

There are many layers of self destruction such as the death of corporate rock in the early 90s to a some rocker getting injured in a fire to the hippies riding the wave to the pawned guitars.

wrong and wrong....its just about the shoals area and scene in the early 90s, the pegasus practice rooms burning down, and just how it changed over night , one scene and and another scene out....novbody was left to bitch....i was there.....still not the same
