In St. John's Eddie was talking about how he could never write songs while being stoned out of mind on pot but he writes alot with red wine and that him and Jeff wrote Bee Girl after drinkin a bottle. He then said when his high he usually ends up painting with grape juice and a toothbrush or vacuming hahaha

I think you mean Got Some.....Get Right is a Riot Act song.....

Yes i did mean Got Some sorry old age is getting to me. But if you look at the art work for Get Right it looks like a joint? What i was trying to say was those first 5 songs on Backspacer have the names of references to drugs. GSMYF is a reference where you go & see someone to score, Got Some is him saying he GOT SOME if you need it, The Fixer says you have been fixed up & Johnny Guitar could be a name for a dealer & Just Breathe really says it all. Sorry that is just me & my interpretation of the names of the songs not the actual meaning of the lyrics that would take way to long.

You think about drugs too much.

Now let's do it with Ten:

Once is about how many times you want to score
Even flow is about how heroin goes into a syringe
Alive is like, OMG, I'm still alive after doing drugs
Why Go, you're wondering why you should go back to your dealer
Black is the color you see after you pass out
Jeremy is the name of your dealer
Oceans is the amount of water you drink when you get cottonmouth from the drugs
Porch is where you smoke your weed
Garden is where you drop your acid
Deep is how you plunge the needle (actually, this one makes sense)
Release is what you feel when you're on drugs.

Whoa .... spooky!

This made me laugh! Funny post!

Someone earlier in this thread said, "Jeff is probably too burnt to do much other than bake down these days." I'm guessing "burnt" means he's partied a lot. But what is "bake down"?

Sorry for my lack of drug term knowledge. I've never smoked pot (no, I'm not lying) and sometimes I get a bit lost when reading these conversations.

Peace

I'm sure I read somewhere Ed saying he was high when he wrote Unthought Known. Probably explains why its a shit song

Drugs make bad music....

The Beatles disagree with that statement.

They absolutely disagree with it.
