I think all of this is funny. I saw him in concert in 94? on his Looking East tour here at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, when I was about 14. Someone called out their "Rosie!" request... he just laughed and said, "I think it's a little too early in the night for Rosie... " then he stopped and corrected... "a little too early in the tour." My dad, with a very held back laugh, told me a few weeks before what it was about... so when Jackson said that it made sense.
It's definitely about masturbation. But there is a true story about it. The sound guy at one of his shows was working a girl over, got her in to see the show, she ended up walking off with the drummer even after putting in all the leg work. Turns out, that night, a disgruntled sound guy put push-pins around the drummers hotel door frame, locking the drummer and that girl in.
...that's when he retires and so eloquently jerks it.
