Thanks for that, Graham!
I must say that my inspiration for the chrome weenies piece was the Fourth of July in Manhattan years and years ago. All these Sabrett stands were cued up—these snack carts that sell franks and soda and stuff—and their visual trademark is yellow and red stripes (probably symbolizing ketchup and mustard).
Anyhow, at that time, it was just about the Death of the Chrome Bumper on American cars.
And people were beginning to become self-conscious about their intake of nitrites, so the piece is a flashback to the 1970s commemorating two distinctly American things mashed up into dreamy clouds.
My Best,
Gary
