A few thoughts come to mind:
- Why will she not just share one of those nuggets with him? There's at least 10 in that box. Why does she covet them so? It would appear from the wedding band that they are either married, or involved in a classic "Trapped in the Closet" style love affair. You would think that something as rudimentary as sharing a chicken nugget would be common-place; but perhaps that's the exact thing that's driving their relationship downwards and tearing this poor man apart in the process?
- Speaking of, this man is devastated that he cannot get one of those nuggets. Devastated to the point where he has not only written a tune to express his sorrow and desperation, but he chooses to perform it in both the comfort of his own home (perhaps sparing himself some embarrassment), AND in a dark alley in the pouring rain. There have been some times in my life where I have thought of killing a man to obtain chicken nuggets, but never have I been driven to the point of public song. His plight is pitiful, shameful, yet beautiful.
- Judging from the nature of his house, his wife's car, etc., I have to think this guy has the means to simply drive to McDonald's himself and purchase those tasty nuggets which he craves uncontrollably. Although maybe he's lost his driver's license, and cannot transport himself via car to the nearest McD's? Maybe he is new in town, and doesn't know the location of the nearest McDonald's, and his nav system is on the fritz and can't offer him help in that area? Perhaps he was caught recently cheating on his wife with someone who is employed at McDonald's, and his wife agreed to stick with him only on the condition that he never again eat McDonald's? The nuggets are a symbol of his ultimate temptation: nuggets and sweet, sweet drive-through lady love.
- Is that Bill Bellamy?
On an administrative note, posting will be slowed, if not halted altogether over the next week and a half, as I have finals next week. Until then, I leave you with the Platinum Bentley...
