OK, it’s cool that these songs evoke so many different stories and memories and stuff, I really love that. But I also think that this song is pretty much straightforward. A minor guy in the neighborhood who is a player… Not really a bad guy, but definitely doing different things Illegally And he has left the game and moved away. I personally see no references to Christianity or Judaism, the lower side was a Puerto Rican neighborhood by then most people were simply lapsed Catholics.
There’s no reference to Any fatal car crashes or any of that and the four drum beats are just for drum beats.
The reason he celebrates Sunday on Saturday night because the bars don’t close till 4 AM and usually didn’t close at all till 8 AM so it was literally Sunday morning by the time you left your Saturday night party.
Lucy still drinks her Coke and rum… The neighborhood is still there and everything is still going on But without him.
Gangsters Dr., Cadillacs and El Dorado’s because they are quite often very big men and would look ridiculous and a Celica… And be very uncomfortable. I don’t see any reference to pimping And having essentially grown up in that neighborhood never met a pimp on the lower east side. I knew pimps, but all the pimps I knew lived in motels or hotels. New York is very specific, Italians live in Little Italy and East Village had its own thing. Mostly drugs, and you have to travel in that line. You have to hustle… anyone driving out to Hackensack NJ would be called a fool. Even by themselves.
Everyone put alcoholic beverages into a bag. It was called “giving the cops their respect“. When drinking outside, which everyone did it was believe that if you put it in a paper bag, so no one can see what you were drinking, it was called “giving the cups their respect” and so you would not get ticketed for public consumption. So it became a very common thing to do to drink Out of a paper bag.
He was a local character and not really a bad guy and these were not deprave things. They were just the way it was back then… But as you get older, you can’t play those young men games anymore and if you’re smart you’ll get out while you’re head. But, “ We know that you’re smoking wherever you are” Simply means that you’re still cool wherever you are… Not Doobies or anything or fans… Him. We know where you are. You’re still the same cool guy even though you’ve retired… Respect. Anyway, that’s how I see it.
