ong information

"Mr. Wilson" is about the Beach Boys founding member, Brian Wilson. "Heartbreak Hotel" is Cale's infamous and unsettling recording of the original Elvis song. "Guts" opens with the line, "The bugger in the short sleeves fucked my wife". This refers to Kevin Ayers sleeping with Cale's wife before the June 1, 1974 concert, as John Cale related in his autobiography, with Victor Bockris, "What's Welsh for Zen" (1998). "The Jeweler" is a spoken word piece.
