Thanks for taking a wild stab, kaqi. That makes a fair amount of sense. I'm not sure wht to make of the drug references, but somehow they fit. When I first heard the song I was reminded of the movie "McCabe and Mrs. Miller", wherein Julie Christie plays an opium addict. but nothing else really fit. Note- Eleanor Bron was in the movie "Help." Yes, as oxymoronic as it sounds, the acoustic version does rock. I would almost sayit is better, but Yo La Tengo does those popy background vocals like no one else can.
