Bruce Johnston and the 1958 murder of John Dolphin
A long-running theory as to why Disney Girls has "1957" as part of it's title is because in February of 1958, Bruce Johnston and his friend witnessed a gruesome murder. Witnessing a murder can obviously have a major affect on someone and can make them lose their innocence very quickly. I know that Bruce has addressed this before, and I know that there are interviews and video clips of him talking about the incident. It makes sense that "1957" is part of the song title though. It's Bruce harking back to a time when things were more innocent for him.
On February 1, 1958, Johnston, Nelson, and Shostac, visited record impresario John Dolphin at his office at 1252 South Berendo Street in Hollywood to pitch him a demo of a song written by Fowley. Although they were only sophomores in high school, they were about to get a college education in the music business. “We made a demo at Western,” Johnston explained. “We were asked by a guy there to bring the demo to his office. When we got to his office, it was locked.” Dolphin owned Dolphin’s of Hollywood record store in predominantly black South Central LA. Errol Garner, one of Bruce’s piano idols, had recorded for Dolphin’s record labels.
As they waited outside, they struck up a conversation with Percy Ivy, a twenty-six-year-old singer, there to either reclaim four of his demos or the $250 per song Dolphin allegedly promised him. “There was another guy waiting outside,” Johnston continued. “So, I went to a pay phone and called the guy inside his office to come and open the door. He did and the other guy went in with us.” Once inside the small office, Dolphin and Ivy argued while Bruce and his friends looked on. The argument became heated and Ivy, who later claimed Dolphin pulled a switchblade knife on him, fired five or six shots at close range with a 32-caliber Italian automatic handgun. Dolphin fell dead on top of a small space heater. Shostac was grazed in the leg by a ricocheting bullet and Nelson, still carrying a soft drink, ran to get help. When Nelson returned to the office with the police, Johnston was reportedly negotiating a record deal with Ivy for when he got released from prison. The police booked Ivy on suspicion of murder. “I didn’t go down there to shoot him,” he told police. “I just wanted my songs back.”

rvi 🐸Apr 13, 2021·2 repliesDonutHoleWhat's y'all issue with this song?
stupid lyrics, its abrasive in a way that makes it stand out from the rest of the album in a bad way (siren, megaphone voice effect). uninteresting pretty standard rock&roll (+blues) with meh performances and vocals that doesnt really offer anything to me other than passable lead guitar tone. would also be better if it was only like 2:30 rather than a full 4 minutes
i wouldnt call it an outright horrible song, only bad compared to the rest of the album. if i rated it out of 10 id give it like a 4 maybe. but i think its worse than any of the worst songs on the rest of their greatest albums (not counting studio chatter)
although despite the lyrics/message, the subject matter of the song does kinda fit with the album. makes me wish they could have done a song on that topic except more well done and appropriate for the album's sound instead of the one we got
it was a great decision to place it at the end of side 1 so that vinyl listeners could skip it very seamlessly back in the day

having it come right after the extreme tenderness of disney girls only accentuates those negative (imo) qualities too
