"Belle of the Boulevard"  talks about a girl, whom the singer-composer considers as one of the most beautiful women he's known. “We lost touch and I was sad to see how far she’d fallen. I didn’t intend to write the song about her but I sat down in the piano and the chords sounded good and suddenly there was a song there.” “Funny thing is I saw her the other day and she doesn’t know I’ve written this song about her. I can’t tell her. She’s heard the song. I hope it did make her realize it was written for her but she didn’t ask me.” Chris shares, drawing sympathy from the audience, who flocked to the Glorieta Activity Center for the band's press conference.
