Songs About People # 21 Seymour Stein - Belle & Sebastian

 
Written about the famed Sire Records Company executive who signed up The Ramones and Talking Heads, hung out in CBGBs, hit the payload with Madonna and always seems a decent guy. Belle & Sebastian understand and are in thrall to Rock and Roll lore as so many great Scottish musicians seem to be. The song appears to be about one part of a couple making it and leaving the other behind. The track ends with the sound of a jet plane soaring past overhead.
