When this came out I was dating a young woman named Geri. Recently I learned that her life has not been a bowl of cherries, to put it mildly. But I kind of like to think that when she hears this, she's reminded of happier times, and hopefully her life has straightened out and she's doing better.

This resonates as a perfect piece of power pop from when I was a child. Now I hear my daughter singing along to it from some later incarnation. Pan-generational poptasticity!

I love this!
I remember my introduction to this song came off the Mothers of Invention Live at the Fillmore 1971 album.
It was in high school in "77.
What memories!
