BOS6 Nuge & his Dukes. Oh, but it's not about drugs, right Ted?
The Nuge is on record saying it probably *is* about drugs, but that at the time the band wrote it he was clueless about the possibility of that interpretation.
Y'all maybe didn't know this or just forgot, but back in the late 60's there were a lot of folks who were very interested in things like Transcendental Meditation and other forms of inner sprititual enlightenment who had *no* intention of getting involved with drugs. Such as my folks. It's not too far a stretch to imagine the Nuge is sincere about that.
Unrelated Nuge note: I tuned into WS Game 1 early enough for the player intros. Did anyone else catch what music was being played as the bed for the stadium announcer? It was the bridge from "Stranglehold"! Almost made me want to change allegiances!
