its heroin - In the song Jumpin Jack Flash by the rolling stones, a poster stated that Jack Flash is slang for heroin. Captain Jack cannot mean pot or masturbation, since there are other lyrics in the song referring to them. Crack did not exist in 1973 - heroin was the drug of choice then - "Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin" |

the song was written during the protest era - early 1970's during the the Vietnam war. The "Old man/Dead man/Blind man" lyrics symbolize the establishment, government, "old guard" or authority. The "castles burning" is the establishment being questioned and brought down through protests, which could be extremely violent at that time ("sirens" and "red lights" signify the police response). The lyric "find someone who's turning and you will come around" - find a person who is involved with this movement and they will help you join the fight. |
