Mecca Normal Rockumentary

This was part of a songwriting session in 2009. It follows our usual method, in that Dave has music and I don't have any words written down, but perhaps we'd been talking prior to hitting the record button, prior to me hearing the music, so this is the first time through, my first time hearing the music. It gets into story-telling mode, and there's way too much of my giggling (which might be annoying), but now that it's 2026 (over 15 years later) it's fun to hear this account of experiences on tour. If you try to lay the pieces flat across the rocky ground or stack them up shuffle them around you could take one frame and build out the sides You could cross the bridge to an island beyond where the wall once stood you could be there in the white room for the afternoon and into the night but what you recall when you build to the sides is the man in the rain at the side of the road when you were lost and trying to find the bridge to the island and he had a sign Do you remember that guy? It was in East Berlin. We were trying to find Die Insel to play our fabulous magical show and we were totally lost because they'd changed all the maps and street signs since the wall came down we were actually in East Berlin and they put a guy out there in the rain just for us to say, "Go this way!" You could look at that and forget the history of Germany Many years later on a stormy night in Washington DC it had been a hell of a day driving the highway south to the Motel 6 branches flying rain and thunder we almost didn't want to go to our show but we did And when we saw the club which we'd never been to we pulled up out front and we sat there a minute because it was still really really rainy and this guy appeared with an umbrella for us! You remember that? And that made everything in that moment and now seem good and it was a good show we had a good soundman and there were a few people in the audience we were happy they were there and they laughed in all the right places So you can take the pieces and lay them out on the ground the rocky ground it keeps moving and the edges blur and the people shift and come and go and you try to remember their names and the dates and which show that was where something special happened like at the Knitting Factory when... somebody brought us a cake... a tort, it was, in fact... we were opening for the X... [listen for the story] So you can take the pieces and lay them flat on the rocky ground and try to remember who came to the show and who was always around like Billy Ruane was always around in Boston you couldn't go to Boston without getting a whole lotta books and CDs and records and maybe a kind of purple shrine for the dashboard of your car maybe a potted plant or something from Billy Ruane Anyway, you can shuffle that around all around Done now. Well, not 'we're done' but the song's gotta end.
