From Seattle PI interview; “ I never understood the lyrics of “Mimi,” track four from the Long Winters first album – “I was so lazy, all hands and fives, those flaming babies came down from the sky.” Roderick explained, driving down a lonely Alaskan highway, a girl who he was dating blew into his ear. It was a curvy, mountainous road. Roderick swerved into the path of a school bus heading in the opposite direction. It was a near miss. The flaming babies line was what if the old Chrysler he was driving hit the school bus.”
