Gooseberry tackles generational mythology with a mischievous grin on “D.B. Cooper,” a fun, boppy track aimed at the Baby Boomer generation's legendary talent for self-mythologizing. There’s a playful surrealism and knowing absurdity to the writing, with lines like “Drank up hope from the fountain of youth / Spat it out like Listerine” giving the song its eccentric personality. Cultural icons and history are referenced within an energetic idea that never gets too serious. “D.B. Cooper” works because there’s a keen observation about how generations create their own legends, underneath the humor.
