I built "Ghosts of Buttercup" from memories of desert riding around Buttercup and Gordon's Well, border runs to Algodones, Competition Hill, and the reckless freedom that came with being young.

A fast, nostalgic Zed Wishless punk song about growing up with Dungeons & Dragons before it was mainstream, surviving the old moral panic around the game, and hearing a new generation discover the same joy.
