A bleached-out image of Brian and Curt on some beach.


Both Curt and Brian recall the same moment on holiday, in flashback, as the highlight of their time together. When Brian watches Curt drive away he visualizes them together on the same beach. To each of them that idyllic moment was the fondest memory of their affair. Much of their relationship was scrutinized by the press or observed by others but this is a private interlude that their fans have no idea about, possibly making it all the more precious.


Esoterica: Because Todd describes Curt as 'very far-away' and he and Brian on 'some beach' I just have to mention that 'On Some Far Away Beach' is a song on Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets.
