IMO- the song was inspired by the destruction of the Flora-Bama (Hurrican Ivan, IIRC), and the memories of good times there.

It's just a nod to all the small beach bars we've come to know and love as I'm sure many of the stories are similar to ones on every coast. It's a fond reflection back . . .
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.
