No, I don't think that was anymore than a fleeting thought for Neil Diamond here; he was thinking of himself and the difficulties he experienced at the time. when in the grip of oppresive struggles in life, then 'freedom' becomes a 'glass sealing' that you can't break... like the only freedom you have are the thoughts in your head, thoughts musings and songs are the only escape.
Sorry for the soap box...
