Yes, it was. The same album also has a song on it called “Eddie.” When I was 11 years old, I had no idea what this was about:
***********************
Can we ignore the basic facts of history
Or deny what people say is destiny
First in the eighties, but last of the sons
First in the eyes of his countrymen
I think the message is ever so loud and clear
Eddie, now don’t you run
You know you’re a bootlegger’s son
And you saw just what it’s done to the others
Eddie, now don’t you run
It’s the end of all your fun
And you saw just what they done to your brothers
did they mean running off and leaving Mary Jo to drown? ; )
