Culver City Blues 03:38 Sep 22, 2009
I am currently obsessed w/ this song and Found this discussion in attempting to decode the "Culver City Blues" reference. Being from Southern California i am finding it hard to believe that they are actually referencing Culver City...it's just not a very Neil and/or Chris kind of city (no offense to any Culver City residents...i'm from Ventura...i'm sure you can find something to slam Ventura for). If they said Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Silverlake, Los Feliz, or the like, i'd believe it in a heartbeat, but i'm having a hard time with finding the Pet Shop Boys/Culver City connection. Great interpretations to all who've chimed in, especially those that posted before even hearing the song. I think you all nailed it pretty well. If anyone has an more thoughts on the Culver City part, please share! Thanks! PSB rock!! |
