Anybody know what a steppenwolf is? I was irritating my neighbours by playing Paula Cole’s most recent disk very loudly and she has one song where she says she is challenging her steppenwolf. I know a band from a few decades back was called Steppenwolf, but I don’t know if they have anything to do with it…
I imagine she’s referring to the Steppenwolf from the Herman Hesse novel. It’s about a person’s desire to live free and wild, to put it simply.
It’s an excellent book, by the way. Highly recommended.
“steppenwolf” is German for prairie wolf. Herman Hesse used it for the title of his novel; the band took their name from the book.
Well, since that ones answered how’z bout this one: Anyone have any Ideas about what The Fixx’s “Saved by Zero” is about?
Saved by Zero, been trying to figure that one out since I was ten. I figure there must be some back story to that one.
Maybe, someday.
