This song is sung from the point of view of Mogie after he's in the spirit world. He's tryin' to convince his brother, Rudy, to do graffiti on the George Washington statue-thingy at Mt. Rushmore. See, he wants Rudy to make it look like George Washington's crying cuz the picture, above, is a picture Corky drew when he was in the 3rd grade. It's one of Corky's mom's favorite pictures; as such, if she sees the Mt. Rushmore George Washington looking like that picture, she'll know it's a sign from Corky that he's okay in the afterlife.
Okay...bastard-son-of-a-bitch...the song up there, it keeps on crapping out half-way through, and I don't know if it's because of my slow internet connection, or if there's something wrong with the poopy website I use to host these songs. So, here's an embedded player from another site I use...hopefully, this'll work. (If it sounds all bolloxed up, you can go to the podcast, itself, where it might work better).
Here's last week's song if you play it backwards.
For anyone new to this blog, this album's based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.
