@mackey138 I love how you say “obviously “ when it’s totes not obvious, lol. But you’re the first person I’ve seen here who is also detecting criticism in the song—I think it’s a (negative) critique of pompous,\r\nOut-of-touch (probably racist, but that would just go with the territory) sort of ppl in the south, and knowing he made that comment about Indiana (not exactly the south, but still shows what he thought about certain sorts of ppl) supports my theory, at least loosely. I do like the idea of it being about a bar fright—maybe you’re right!...

@mackey138 it's crazy that I'm replying to over a decade comment. You was partially right Shannon and a off police officer. But the song is talking about he has no control over his addiction.

He was following Shannon around for over 2 months making sure he was doing good, Shannon again convinced everyone he was okay he didn't need the babysitter anymore. So...

So they sent the drug counselor back home to LA. 3 days later they found Shannon on the bus.. Sad my favorite vocalist of all time I seen them twice first time Ozzy No More Tears your Alice N Chains then Blind Melon. What an awesome voice and such a free spirit.. R.I.P. Shannon ????
It's about a bar fight obviously. Shannon said that all people from indiana are only good at getting drunk and fighting each other
