Mother found a box of blues
Hey,
Listening to "Cut My Hair" with by 11 year old daughter.
When she asks what it is about, I explain about rebellion,
parent/child growing pains, etc. She wondered what some
of the lyrics meant, in particular: "...but my mother found
a box of blues..." When I told her it was about drugs,
she gave me a disapproving look. I explained that the drugs
were just symbolic of any form of escape that one attempts
to retreat from the reality of their gig. It really could
be anything, but I said that drugs were popular then.
I was never a drug user/abuser or a *bad-boy* and yet I
very much relate to Quad. Sure, I had other forms of escaping,
so is that a substitute for getting pilled out?
My question to the group is: Can one be clean and sober,
and popular and have grown up with the benefits of the
American dream, with a mum and dad that you love, and loved
you and still relate to Quad?
