3. This is a great song, partially about life, shame on them.

The lead singer, who wrote the song, did not want it to be a song just about a bar. The singer used to go to a bar where the bartender actually did say you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

It had a second meaning for the singer/writer. His wife was pregnant. If you listen to it closely, it is about the expected birth.. it is a whole other beautiful layer to the song.

The USA is not a bar sending folks home at the end of the night. I hope the song is apt. It states new beginnings happen from other beginning’s end. I hope the admin has a quick end and the rest of us can have our new beginning.
