Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I sometimes forget how great the lyrics are in this song.

Dropped in the sea just off Japan
Swapped 20 bottles for an Aqua Walkman

The way "Walkman" is twisted to fit the rhyme still cracks me up.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Love it. It took me a while to understand what Mick was singing at first hearing.
