Hi Folks,
I always thought the first verse is about Janis Joplin, who drank herself to death. She meets her (Drug)-connection. her ''footloose'' man is Bobby Mc Gee, from her most famous Song...(and lost Love)
Jimmy obviously is Jimmy Hendrix, who also died because of excessive Drug use.
Of course you can't always get what you want, and surely those two guys didn't.
-Like many of this Generation...whose Spirit died also..
@Bennn Gypsy** drugstore is a drug dealer. Jimmy is probably Hendrix. Mick would run in those circles (of society) and relates how Jimmy -- an addict in motion -- was lookin pretty bad already before he died. So yeah, right on man.

** he sings "Gypsy". But the lyrics on the Album were whitewashed. It makes more sense, no?, b/c Jimmy's medicine queue would not be on main st in Chelsea.
Without much evidence, I always supposed that to get YOUR prescription filled was referring to the same lady as in verses 1, 2, 4. K
Like she and Mick were together for a while. But not at the beginning or the end. => She was an addict too.
Never thought of Janice Joplan being mentioned before, but addict she was. Maybe they were friends? W/O benefits.
