That's a good ... ( 1 month ago by unstoppable3rd)

That's a good breakdown of the song title's meaning, terrahrex06. Steve Winwood has said the song is about the greedy corporate music executives and slimeball promoters that Traffic had to deal with to make music and tour.

The title refers to ... ( 1 month ago by unstoppable3rd)

The title refers to an inscription written by actor Michael J. Pollard in band member Jim Capaldi's book while they were both in Morocco. Capaldi and Pollard were planning to work on a movie that was never filmed. Capaldi said: Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.'
It is not about drag queens...

I agree with this, and with terrahrex' interpretation (which has always been mine, too).
But I thing it's wrong to try to be too literal with the song. There's a significant surreal aspect to it as well--thoughts not meant to be taken literally, but which unlock certain subconscious ideas and feelings.

I saw an old interview with Steve Winwood and he said the whole song is about how the music industry corrupts everything a musician does. How they work so hard to make music, and "the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he made on your dreams."

Ok...this song ... ( 1 week ago by gillybymarriage)

Ok...this song reminds me of when I got so high I really thought I was going to lose it.
Took me years to even think of smoking again.
And even hearing Traffic made me cringe for years.
