I've always found the lyric "the sea refuses no river" to be just a lovely philosophical line. Moved me when I first heard it and it bounces around in my head to this day. I probably pretended to like this album more than I really did at the time because it was a little arty and I considered myself same.
Plus the idea of "slit skirts" really didn't move me or interest me in the least, not that I knew why at the time.
The first time I heard anything off "All The Best Cowboys...," was when Dan Neer played "Stop Hurting People" about a week after the album was released. I listened to WNEW-FM all day and all night, and I had never in my life heard a DJ recite lyrics from a song after playing it. He was audibly moved by the song. Pete can do that. I love this record, especially "The Sea Refuses No River."
Cool story. South Florida had no actual deejays, just people playing what they're told and describing traffic. But hey, that made me a lifelong purchaser of music (starting with cassettes for the car) so I could be my own deejay!
