Lyric discussion by cassiemay10 

"Blue Collar Man" was written in 1978 by Tommy Shaw. At the time, he was living in Michigan and had friends who worked for the auto industry in Detroit. This song is the unemployed worker's lament and a vow to keep his dignity despite the stigma of unemployment.

Song about being a male escort? It is to laugh. I nearly did a spit-take when I read that.

Artists rarely give you the true meaning of the lyrics. spiegel pretty much got it right.

@cassiemay10 Just A Gigolo is the song about being a male prostitute.
