“How do you know the song is set in Jackson CA vs Jackson MS?”
==
The Glitter Twins wouldn’t have made it out of a MS bar with their teeth still in their faces in the late 60s!
I know they traveled extensively in the south, there’s a picture of them playing pool in Crawdaddy’s in Memphis. Also Keith has spoken serveral times about driving through the US South with a .38, case of whiskey in the trunk and a carton of smokes on the back seat.
There’s a lot of towns named Jackson and the Stones have probably been to most of them.
They managed just fine deep in the South Side of Chicago, or places in New Orleans where the tourists are routinely shot.
