"Sweet Jane"???

Well, yeah! Velvet Underground. The Art Group that WAS an Art Group.

The song? Mary Jane? DREADED WEED FROM HELL?

Mebbe. But to Sontag's Against Interpretation I would amend: Against Too Much Interpretation! (I accept Lennon's account of the genesis of LITSWD. I'm gargling enough annoyance without having to tweak it out.)

The lyrics are NOSTALGIC and, to my mine, positive.

. . but those were different times . .

Poets walk among us. BEVARE!!!!!!

Well it was what -- around 1974? Betcha that means amidst some of that "nostalgia" you were either firing one up, OR washin' one down :-D
