1. When I came to the page where they list the copyrights of the songs I came across this: PINK FLAMINGOS Copyright 1986 Polygram... They list a song called Pink Flamingos, but it's not on the album. Was this a typo? Was it a bonus track? I checked the drycounty.com listing of rare songs and didn't find it.

This was the keyboard solo before Let It Rock. The first pressings from Slippery had it on it, the first Japanse release on CD had it on it, but later on they made one track from Pink Flamingo's and Let It Rock.

4. Don't you find it kinda random that in Wild in the Streets, the song refers to a character called "Joey" at the very beginning and never mention him after that? (Note: This has nothing to do with the song Joey on Bounce.)
|
No, Joey is just used as a person to describe the streets then. It could have been anyone, it's not the name, but that little lyric is about the sort of person who lives there.

6. Where did they get the names Tommy, Gina, Roxy, Chino, etc.?
|
Tommy and Gina were old friends of Jon on college. Gina got pregnant and Tommy did his job and raised a family instead of raising a career. Tommy and Gina are not their real names though. For the other names, they are just names that fit into the song. It's the same story for Janie. It was inspired by a fight between Dorothea and Jon, but "Dorothea, don't take your love to town" doesn't sound so nice.
