Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to the meaning of 169 in the song or the meaning of the song in general. My friend and I have been discussing it and have some differing opinions. Maybe even if Warrel could enlighten me, it would be great.

"Welcome to the pleasure dome"? I rest my case.
those are lyrics in Rush's "Xanadu"...that a reference? Or reference of some book the lyrics are influenced by
Edit: "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" is the title track to the 1984 debut album by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The lyrics of the song were inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge." - wikipedia
Yeah...Xanadu lyrics - To stand within The Pleasure Dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honey dew
And drink the milk of Paradise"
