Years ago, I had a buddy who was several years older than me. Our daughters were the same age, and they were good friends, and so that is how we'd started hanging out. Eventually, we got pretty close. Now, this is the guy who turned me on to BHS in the first place, and one night when we were pretty deep into a bottle of something or other, he told me about a BHS concert he'd been to, back in his younger days, where he'd jumped up on the stage, and when security tried to get him down, he just got naked in an attempt to get them to leave him alone. This was a very long time ago now, and I don't remember the rest of the story, but I always wondered after that if that incident could have provoked some of the inspiration for this song.
