This is about Phil Kaufman, Gram Parson's manager who stole his body and burnt it in Joshua Tree National Monument. Gram Parsons was in the Byrds and many other famous Rock Bands in the 1960's

@mrjk Thank you. These lyrics have been driving me nuts for years. I read all sorts of horrible, portentous meaning into them about lynching, cruelty, cowardice, madness and lost souls. Good to know that it's really about greatness in a time of greatness.
