i think maybe the drug references could be in reference for music. "This weeks cash for last week's grass" could be making money off old music that might be horrible (no one buy's last week grass). I also love how they reference "A Girl in Port". It brings back another story about the groupie Marie named in that song and how she finally realizes her life and tears apart the rock star she was once in love with, calling him out on the fact that he's the young rockstar he once was and how meaningless their "relationship" was. Its so amazing the way okkervil can take one idea and weave it through an entire album just like in "black sheep boy"
