I learned something from your post, as usual.

Similar to the bad reputation for “Crystal Blue Persuasion” as being a drug song. “Despite the pervasive counter-culture rumors and its later ironic use in Breaking Bad, the song “Crystal Blue Persuasion” by Tommy James and the Shondells is not about drugs at all.”

“Instead, the song’s origin is deeply spiritual. Frontman Tommy James has stated that the lyrics and imagery were inspired by his reading of the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation in the Bible. He was specifically fascinated by the concept of the “blue Shekhinah light,” which represents the presence of God.”
