| @[MrMojoRisin5552:45371] “I wanna tell you about Texas radio and the big beat” is referring to high power Mexican border blaster radio stations that blasted Texas in the 1950s. Not restricted by American regulations, said stations could have up to 250 kilowatts. Morrison and Manzarek both heard Wolfman Jack on one of these. “ Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god“ refers to loneliness in a life that at times seems to go on forever. When everything seems meaningless and you end up losing even your faith because of this. Jim seems to be referring to life as a “maiden with wrought iron soul” or a harsh and unforgiving mistress. The parallel is drawn between her unforgiving nature or unwavering soul and the hardness of iron. Morrison also references Nietzsche’s Parable of the Madman (parable 125 from The Gay Science), in which he outlines the death of God and the realignment of Man. | |
