Purple Toupee: The Meaning I Stopped Looking For
How a Song Without Answers Became a 30-Year Companion.
I’m sitting at bar right now at my favorite Ramen spot in my neighborhood. I’ve been listening to this song on repeat, trying to hear it with fresh ears. Harder said than done when you’ve been listening to it for 30 years. After all that time, I’m realizing that I surrendered any hope of “understanding” this song. Instead, I just enjoy it thoroughly.
