Been thinking about this one lately, too. The visual I get is that she scotch tapes a list of her greviences to the mic stand of the guy in the song...this must be before the show-since the rocker will be off to his tour bus or plane afterward.(he's a big enough star to have roadies). So the singer of the song has backstage access. The list of regrets is clear,,,you can't hold the hand/make your plans etc with a rock and roll man....Since so much of the FTR songs are about JT, I wonder if this is the crux of their breakup- his weakness for willing groupies, which is, sigh, the nature of the race....I guess it could easily be about Nash, too. I had previously thought it was kind of an impersonal story about some girl's broken heart over some rocker. Maybe the girl was Joni. RR
