| Grateful Dead – Jack Straw Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Actually, listen again. Jerry is the one who kills the watchman, and Bob addresses him as "Shannon." Shannon is out of control... he thinks four bucks in change for a cold blooded murder is "heaven sent."Changes everything. Shannon is the one keeping them on the run. When he suggests going to Tulsa to settle "one last score," his "slow buddy," Jack, has had enough, and seizes a chance to get his ruined life back, much like George does in "Of Mice and Men,"by killing his friend and moving on. Great song, great imagery. |
