Doesn't seem like too many people use this site anymore but I'm still surprised that nobody has come up with this connection: The Great Saltair was a classic music/dance hall around the turn of the Century. It was considered the Coney Island of the West when it mysteriously burned down in the 1920's. One rumor was that alcohol was involved. Ultimately is was torn down and rebuilt. Look for lyric references to a wishing machine, wrecking ball, fire, and alcohol. Perhaps some of it's ghosts still "Stand" on The Great Salt Lake!
