Earthquake '89

#7 In 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake hit the Bay Area. I happened to be in the Folsom Street "Hamburger Mary's"(a very different place than the current incarnation) with a friend from school. I wrote the lyrics to this song the night of the earthquake and the following day upon viewing the aftermath. An earthquake will give a quick shock to your worldview. 67 people were killed, which I wasn't aware of at the time.
