enteroneness is right, the Black Rock is a place to go and chill, relax, and unwind. I think that the song also goes deeper than that though, and that a "black rock" is a metaphor for whatever it is that helps you think clearly, get your mind straight and focused whenever somethings troubling you. If you listen to the live cd, there's an extra verse (my favorite lyrics of all time from any song) and it really makes sense. I was going to post it here, but it's really long. I would HIGHLY recommend buying the album Anytime Now, it's a two disc live recording from various shows, and that is where the extra verse appears, and its AMAZING
If you ever find yourself upset, troubled, or unclear about something, find your black rock!
