"Pink Triangle" is a great ode to unrequited love because it so wryly captures the absurdity and pain of loving someone who will never – or in the case of Pink Triangle Girl, can never – love you back. So I was amused to learn in this 2009 Fresh Air interview with Rivers Cuomo that the woman who inspired the song was actually straight, and that the pink triangle was a show of support for gay rights. Rivers missed the boat!
