I always thought that the crow was the singer's impending death, that he chased down in the netherworld he entered through the hole, exhausted the crow by shooting at him, then imprisoned the crow in the guitar, and now enjoys his new-found immortality by torturing Death (as we are all tortured by the thought of our demise) by strumming the guitar-prison.
I always imagined this taking place around turn of the century (aside from the 'buckets from a red corvette' line) and the last scene would be the singer in the modern world with old fashioned clothes on strumming his guitar with a big grin.
