Can someone explain this Dwight Yoakam song? - song with mohair suits
Can someone explain what to talk about Dwight and KD Lang in Sin City? I do not understand the reference to green on the Recruits Jersey Mohair - or gold-plated door - or the fool who came into the city - these are references to Las Vegas?

Song With Mohair Suits Can Someone Explain This Dwight Yoakam Song?
1 comment:
I love these - especially Dwight song and the version of the KD.
This song is actually an old Flying Burrito Brothers song that was written by Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons. Hillman and Parsons were country singer of the rock, which is based in California, and the town where they speak is no doubt in Los Angeles with all its excesses, which seemed to destroy those who were on their way to and got caught in them .
What is the symbolism of the song:
The agreement with gold-plated "gaudy, gold-plated door" at the 31st Apartment Larry Spector, former director of The Byrds. There was much bad blood between Spector and after the break Hillman of the Byrds.
Recruits / green mohair suits shall result in a line that Parsons contributed to the song. It was his crack in the music industry.
The "crazies" who came to town, was Robert Kennedy.
For more information, see the excellent article on the LA Times piece, I've listed below. You can contact mehere for more information on Hillman, Parsons and the Burrito Brothers.
