During Bad Barry’s September 2011 interview on Dave the Boogieman’s show at Radio New York International, Charlie described the creative genesis behind the song “Icarus.”
“Icarus came to me in a dream. And in that dream he said, ‘Whatever you do, don’t write another cliche song about the boy whose wax wings melted when he flew too close to the sun.’ And I thought to myself, ‘Who the Hell is he to tell me what kind of song to do? Who died and voted him king?’ Icarus, if you’re listening…take THAT, you sorry excuse for a Greek legend.”
