Commentary:

While trying to survive my holocaust, I was exercising regularly at The Big C Health Club in Concord for no particular reason at all except that everything else I really wanted to do was either illegal, immoral, or unhealthy and I had too many hours in the day to fill up. They played rock and roll in the exercise room at the Big C, and many cops worked out there every day. These guys tend to be mesomorph power trippers with a strong aura of impending violence. One day while miserably pulling myself up on the Gravitron, I was struck by an especially large cop lifting weights and singing along to The Doobie Brothers' "Taking it to the Streets", a song which at one time was an anthem for anti-war demonstrators, the type of radical student commie pothead that peace officers used to like to bash their nightsticks on. The disparity between the 60's and the 90's (which has been referred to as the 60's standing on its head) was too much for me, and the song title just popped into my mind. The rest of the song wrote itself between the Gravitron, the sauna, and the shower. Considering my checkered past with the law, this incident wherein I actually wrote a song with a positive message about police is another dichotomy which cannot be explained by any rational approach to the universe, and all that can said with any assurance of truth is that "God works in STRANGE ways".
