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.

Johnny Thunders' You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory is kind of an Eve of Destruction/Can't Stop the Rain mash up.
