Flowings of Your Everlasting Taffyman

So sage francis has this lyric in a song I like that i could never figure out. And now i get it. And its a crazy reference.

"there's been way too much murder, and not enough martyr,
why is it no one else wants to impress jodie foster?"

Apparently when asked why he tried to shoot ronald reagan the would be assassin (hinckley) claimed that he was trying to impress jodie foster.
What a crazy nerd reference and also totally funny and totally interesting to put in a political song.
almost on that verge of treason, but not quite.
