Brian King narrates the wild energy of the band’s time in Philadelphia, where a fateful encounter with a stranger and some drinks inspired him to write ‘D&T’. He reflects, 'We had been on the road for a year and a half, and the plan was to wrap-up our riot of indulgence with a four-night stand in Philly. We arrived early, exhausted, and disheveled, voices shot, hearts parched, and while we had every intention of easing into it, someone inevitably called all-hands-to-the-bar and away we went.'
Describing his drunken reflection and creative process, King recalls, 'One before-breakfast eye-opener turned into two, and pretty soon I was pleasantly jingled. With soundcheck still hours away, I decided that a walk was in order and slipped outside under the guise of a cigarette. Half a block later, I was stopped by an intangible stranger who politely remarked that he had seen plenty of drinkin' johnnies and cokey joes aimlessly exploring the streets of Philadelphia, but I took the cake.'
