The middle eight 'I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip . . .' may be a dig at the music industry. Sunset Strip clubs had started out in the 60s as a place for up and coming bands to get exposure, but by the 90s with the rise of land values and pop culture in LA the clubs were receiving payment by the big labels to showcase their latest marketable item - 'Old marquees with stupid band names'.
In an interview with McCrea back then and he described how he loved recording and producing albums but loathed the business of touring. One would imagine he'd have contempt for such 'pay to play' arrangements. Cake value autonomy - they do their own production and have their own label.
Or it could be that McCrea is simply a vessel through which God has called on us to reject Satan's enticements. If you turn the cover of Prolonging The Magic upside down you can see the Virgin Mary in the pig's backside.
(Non)conformity would seem to be a strong theme.
