Who was the inspiration for Being Boring?
Zelda Fitzgerald, famous suffragette and wife of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, to whom the quotation “because we were never being boring” is attributed. This song is also the last in a trilogy about the death of Neil’s best friend from AIDS. “It Couldn’t Happen Here” being the first (when it was discovered he had AIDS), “Your Funny Uncle” being the second (about his funeral), and BB being the last (with Neil remembering his childhood and missing his friend, but how he must go on with life).
