Talk:Steve Threw Up

message: The story of how Steve threw up is not being added by some sort of vandal. It's a well documented story that has been referred to in many news sources, including an interview here:
WCN: Beck wrote a song about you, "Steve Threw Up". How much
truth is there to the story?
SM: This thing is going to follow me to my grave. For my
defense, it wasn't the ferris wheel - it was The Zipper -
and I threw up on myself, not the girl. For some reason Beck
thought it was hilarious and turned it into that song. The
funny thing is I have heard that that song and "Satan Gave
Me a Taco" are Beck's two most requested songs (much to his
chagrin)! I remember I was in Italy on vacation and
backstage to see his show in Rome and someone in the
audience shouted "Steve-a Threw Upp-a"! Beck looked over at
me and shook his head. It's nice to be a "footnote" in rock
history, although I wish it didn't involve me barfing.

replies: text: I reverted to "mostly true" because it's not only the list of food and the ride that are different; Moramarco also says he didn't throw up on a girl. That's three differences, so I don't think it qualifies as true. (There are probably other things in the song that aren't true, too, but I'm just dealing with the ones Moramarco mentions in the substantiating interview.) Candy 21:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah, before I changed it, it said 'mostly fictional', but mostly true makes more sense. --It's-is-not-a-genitive 21:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oh, you're right! I thought it said "mostly true." I suppose I was thinking that "mostly true" was the best way to describe it, so that's what I saw. Candy 22:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're right... I only took issue with it being considered 'mostly fictional.' 'Mostly true' is certainly the most accurate and less beat-around-the-bushish way to describe it (I certainly wouldn't have changed it had it been that :).) --It's-is-not-a-genitive 22:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
