Barrytown "I can see by what you carry / That you come from Barrytown"
Song: Barrytown    Album: Pretzel Logic

A town in upstate New York, close to Annandale-on-Hudson and Bard
College (Becker & Fagen's alma mater). Its biggest claim to fame would
be as the headquarters of The Unification Church, a.k.a. "The
Moonies", a religious cult who gained notoriety in the 70s from
reports of its mass weddings & alleged brainwashing of members. As a
fundraising measure, followers would often stand at street corners,
carrying small bouquets of flowers for sale (hence the lyric).
