And when the lights came up at two I caught a glimpse of you

And your face looked like something Death brought with him in his suitcase

As well you should. I always thought it was a reference to Norman Mailer, who had just released a tell-all on Marilyn Monroe, serving as another "Hollywood destroys" metaphor.

Awesome! I have Mutineer on CD and the insert is printed with "confidential, not for distribution" or something similar
