Is this song about someone going to see their dealer?
I read something where the guy thinks he's gonna go see his dealer, but all he gets is an awesome rock song.
The joke from a few years ago. Gonna See My Friend -- Go to get the drugs. Got Some -- He's got the drugs. The Fixer -- Fixes one up with the drugs. Johnny Guitar -- The dealer. Just Breathe -- When you're on the drugs, or can't get the drugs, just breathe. Amongst The Waves -- "Riding high...amongst the waves..." Unthought Known Supersonic Speed of Sound Force of Nature The End -- Blackout? Overdose?
But, then someone else said that Ten was the "drug album." Once -- Did them once and got hooked Even Flow -- Through the veins Alive -- Thankfully, you're still alive Why Go -- See the dealer? Black -- Blackout Jeremy -- The name of the dealer Oceans -- (I forget.) Porch -- Where you do the drugs Garden -- Alternative drug-doing place? Deep -- Like I need to explain this one? Release -- The sense of the feeling of being high
Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"
Hell yeah! I'd love to see them play it. But the song can't be about a guy just going to see one of his friends to hang out? It has to be about drugs? Maybe it is though!

I don't understand why people don't like Backspacer or any album for that matter. Like wat. They can play any song anytime and I'd be happy. Sure there are songs I'd like to hear more than others but still.

it's amazing that people have an opinion huh?
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you HAVE to share it. Geez why can't we all just be fucking nice?
Saw it in Van '13 and it was great, maybe it just fits better on the west coast
Would love to hear see this in the rotation again. Vancouver 2013 is a great showing, love that Ed shouts for the lyrics sheet about 10 seconds after the song starts.

But damn if they could pull it off live.
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

Johnny Guitar would be great. I know people hate that song but it's one of the only ones I like on Backspacer.
