| John Prine – Six O'Clock News Lyrics | 2 years ago |

I wondered about this song meaning when I first heard and played the song at an open mic. While I am sure the liner notes are definitive, I felt that it was better to keep it a mystery for everyone to solve. My guess was that James was the product of a one night stand, and James found out that his mother resented him and wished he was never born. When he learned that he blew his brains out. Small point, If he jumped, I don’t think blood would be on his shoes. He must have been upright and suffered a wound to his head. Next puzzle. Who was the stranger? Perhaps his mother was raped. So very sad. |
