Epic Teen (Nancy)

The “revolutionary partnership” I’m struggling with in a song like “Insecurely”, and celebrating in a song like “Spin The Bottle”, is the only kind that seemed sustainable with my life as touring musician in his twenties. The experiences and connections I had on the road, including living out many fantasies that allowed me to get past and let go of whatever made these fantasies attractive in the first place, seemed important then.

This song is a dream of a fantasy come true. I feel bad because I used the name of a real girl from my high school, meaning to change it to avoid any embarrassment or confusion, but I could never find a fake name that worked as well.

This is how the artist is a kind of criminal. The kind Bob Dylan sang about when he wrote, “to live outside the law you must be honest”. Unfortunately, honesty is often the crime, though not in this case, at least not specifically.
