Talk:Brokedown Palace (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Grateful Dead song

I removed this text from the entry about the Grateful Dead song:

-- the named referred to "The Palace Flophouse and Grill", an abandoned warehouse where a group of bums lived in John Steinbeck's Cannery Row

I think this is too much detail for a disambig entry. If it's relevant to the song, then it belongs in the song's article, or on the Grateful Dead's article. From what I can tell, only the Grateful Dead song refers to the warehouse by this name, not the novel Cannery Row. Rpresser 20:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, I would really like to know how this distinctive two-word phrase can mean such wildly different things in different contexts. In Brust's novel it is a literal palace that is falling apart; I can believe that Brust took the title from the GD song and wrote a story around it. But where did the film get it from?
