Jason, moron extraordinaire from Seattle's 107.7 KNDD:  Who is Cowboy Dan?
Isaac:  Kind of a long story. He's this guy my dad grew up with.
Eric:  Montana
Isaac:  He lives in Montana and his name's Cowboy Dan.
Jason:  Is he a Freeman?
Isaac:  um, no, he's a, he's actually, he owns himself a little ranch and I 
don't know, i don't know what to say.  he used to be a speed freak. like 
crazy speed freak, and now he's just a paranoid old guy.
Jason:  And he's gonna be immortalized with a song.
Isaac:  Well, yeah.

That's transcribed from a radio interview/performance i recorded circa March

1997, right before the band released the Fruit that Ate Itself.  While it's 
obvious that the band was sometimes messing around with the interviewer, 
Isaac played that pretty straight. . .so I would assume that someone at
least 
lent themselves to the creation of Cowboy Dan.  of course, as with all mouse

songs, i imagine isaac is speaking somewhat of concerns that are tied to his

own thinking and life. . .cowboy dan's talk of the city does fit nicely with

the other "concrete" themes prevalent in other songs (in fact, isaac speaks 
of it in said-interview, specifically pertaining to Issaquah)
