So, you probably aren’t going to believe what I have to say, but I’m convinced my dad is part of the reason this song was written.
In the 80s, my dad lived in Tucson, and one summer, when he was 19, he hung out with a group of other “dashing bold adventurers” (crazy young people). This group included Roddy Bottum, the keyboardist of FNM, among others.
One night they were hanging out on a mountain road, socializing and messing around, when a truck pulled up.
“This is private property.” The man said, “Introduce Yourself”
Silence.
“Jeff, 19!” My Dad said.
“Kim, 19!” His friend said.
Everyone in the group followed suit, then they got kicked off that land.
Three months later, the album and song “Introduce Yourself” came out. My dad hasn’t talked to Roddy since that summer.
You probably think this is bullshit, but I don’t.
