Screenwriter's Blues Lyrics

I love the second mention of reseda, he makes it sound like the radio man is saying really blatantly to all the people who live in L.A. that they are going there and Since kathrynfk said a lot of porn is made in reseda it's like he's being really straight forward and honest and saying everyone likes porn, if this is what the reseda reference means I think the dying part is meant to be an orgasm, as in dying of pleasure. A friend stold me that the french for orgasm is 'le petit mort' which means the little death.

Also love how clever Doughty is with words, when he says 'we are all in some way or another going to reseda someday to die' reseda- 'recede' as in your life is reseding then you die. Not sure if anyone else sees that one but it amuses me!
