Time After Time (Annelise)
From what I've heard, Time After
Time is about a night Mike Mills had with these two girls (one
of which was alleged to be [Barrie], now Pete's wife) where they
got stoned, climbed up a water tower in Athens, partied, took
some of their clothes off, and ended up getting arrested. Whether
that's true or not, I honestly don't know... [omega305] * While that's
the prevalent rumor (about Mike, Barrie Greene -- later
[Mrs.] Buck -- and another woman) the incident reportedly
occurred later in 1984, after Time After Time was recorded. It
is probably the same watertower, though, as it's in the neighborhood
where they were living (Barber St). [Lin

"Ask the girl of the hour"
A play on: ask the girl about the
hour (or in other words, what time it is), and ask the "girl
of the hour", the current fling (much like a "word
of the day"). [Chris
Piuma]
"If your friends took a fall, are
you obligated to follow"
According to the anecdote, Mills
et al. were arrested [i.e., "took a fall"]. [Ron Henry] *
It's a re-phrasing of that parental classic: "If everyone
jumped off a cliff, would you, too?" [Chris Piuma]
"the bull's on his hooves"
Colloquial for "things are
happening". [Ron Henry]
