So where does the 69 come from if its not about sex? Well that might have a little somthing to do with a Nottingham built 1969 Raleigh Chopper the prince of thieves swiped directly in front of said theater in the tall grass of late summer 70 or 71. Bryans claim of the songs inspiration being about simultaneous oral sex doesn’t seem to hold much water & the song is generally considered about a lost childhood, a reoccurring theme in his work.
Thats also why Bryan was having trouble with the law. Thats why Bryan usta like to hide out at the drive-in. Back then we were base brats (born raised and transferred somewhere) with violent alcoholic military fathers suing for divorce. The only reason I can figure that nobody figured this out is because its a secret. It wasnt till 1970 where Bryan upgrades from a toy too get his first real guitar & this is also the year he moves to Beacon Hill with the drive-in.
In 1969 Bryan is in Texas & no where near the Queensway Drive-In Theater, The same very same place that a future Tom Cruse lived just up the road at that time. In order to get a better picture of what is more likely going on with this classic double entender, you hafta go back almost 50 years to a seldom mentioned suburb, on the edge of the city too a deserted strip called Shefford Rd. It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69, yeah. I think about you, wonder what went wrong Sometimes when I play that old six-string I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no! Apparently their relationship, just like the band, didn't last long. Third verse is a reflection of his glory days, the good ole days.įourth and fifth verses are about Bryan's summer job - he had a gig at a drive-in, and how he met his girlfriend. They couldn't stay together, however, as band members fell apart, but Bryan never lost his love for music I mean dude is still active. Second verse goes into the details of how Bryan put "six-string" into use - by forming a band in high school. It says "real six-string" So I'd assume it's a electric guitar as opposed to a simple acoustic one.īought it at the five-and-dime - Bryan bought his guitar from a "five-and-dime," which means something like a dollar shop. I got my first real six-string - six-string means a guitar.
