I guess everybody can put their own slant on what it means.
I always thought “The Jester” was Mick Jagger. The King was Elvis but not sure who the Queen was. The Sergeants were The Beatles.
Driving “my Chevy to the Levee” was just the typical teenagers going parking. The levee being dry means he was out of luck.
There is a huge amount of religious overtones to the song.
“I always thought “The Jester” was Mick Jagger. The King was Elvis but not sure who the Queen was. The Sergeants were The Beatles.”
That’s right, and he pays tribute to Janis Joplin and the Byrds; and he was pissed that JFK was shot, but the bottom line is that a girl in high school rejected him and from there the world wend the crap.
