Yes, a song about an indigent soul has made a rock legend. In fact the singer(who's FIRST wife who wrote the song) felt he had to instill even more meaning to it's simple theme of "a bum who dies" by portraying himself, Ian Anderson as the bum on stage or video. On stage he'd say things like "you poor ol sod you see it's only, a me......" A powerful image of the poor destitute homeless man woven throughout many of the bands commercial offerings. But you see, his FIRST wife made the song work to the teenage adolescent types with "snot is running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes...." At that time, snot was as bad as Slip Knot today. ga |

OMG ....pardon the interuption of lack of analysis. This song is simply about a young lady borne of crossed-eyes of lowest income and self esteem. SHe gives sexual favor to pay her way in life...a sad but real fact when none of us would choice degrading sex over having wealth at our finger tips instead of Aqualungs "willy". She has many seedy friends who help her along a sad life path as she "helps' them get off as needed. Nothing more. Anderson made some of his living out of describing the seedy characters of the impoverished landscape to SHOCK us into buying vinyl. Nothing more. |
