    started it and am now up to 26 minutes through. I'm hooked! It's
    fascinating. I stopped only to post here that Jim Colegrove has an
    important part in the film. I assume it's "our" Jim. Correct me if I'm
    wrong.

    Yes, he played on Bobby's 1972 album which is much sought after. I sold
    a copy for over $100 a few years ago. The movie is named after a track
    on the album that I really like.

    Nothing like his early records, but it's mesmerizing to me.

    I agree, but I can't see how the lyrics don't matter.

    What is it about, I don't know. Never took the time to think about what
    the words mean.

    What is it about, I don't know. Never took the time to think about what
    the words mean.

    I initially thought it was about being in heaven, but a definition in
    the Urban Dictionary has me questioning that interpretation. That is
    that it's the state you reach after popping pills until you are totally relaxed. Given Bobby Charles history of drug use, this could be his
    inspiration for the song. I'd hate to think that.

    SEE, you were better off not thinking about what the words mean.
