Guess we’ll have to find a library that has old issues of Newsweek. ---

I’m not telling. And neither is Julio, if he knows what’s good for him. ---

Well, whatever it was, it was pretty bad; everyone else involved is probably on a Train in the Distance by now. Julio can take it, though - he’s a real rock. Maybe even an island. Song references aside, when listening to this song recently, I heard one word that could be taken a couple ways. Mama could have run to the “corner” station or the “coroner’s” station, which really changes the whole song. Looking up the lyrics, it’s down as “police” station, which I don’t hear at all. Them being gay is something that never occurred to me, but it makes the most sense. ---

They were eating chicken and eggs at a Chinese restaurant. ---

Them being gay is something that never occurred to me, but it makes the most sense. It’s always been “Police Station” as long as I’ve known. Sung as “Po-Lice” with the accent on the first syllable. ---

I always assumed that \*And when the radical priest Come to get me released We was all on the cover of Newsweek \*refers to some Daniel Berrigan/Catonsville Nine sort of deal–the more we hear about the narrator and Julio, the more expansive their list of crimes becomes. It was the “yadda yadda yadda” of Corona. ---

Unfortunately, all the evidence was destroyed when Billie Joe threw it off the Tallahatchie bridge, so we may never know. ---

I think the fact that we don’t know what they did makes it a better song. It’s like Marcellus Wallace’s briefcase in Pulp Fiction - would it be better if we knew what was in it? ---
