Johnny Walker isn't the Devil...it is merely the SYMPTOM of a much larger problem, which is a lack of understanding...a locked and frightened mind. People drink excessively to forget...forget the pain and suffering that they simply won't let go of...and that is a prison that the "ole poison whiskey" is not the cause...again, merely the symptom.
Ronnie was/is a genius who intuitively saw the bigger picture in everything...the ultimate message of the song is to take back the control of your life...don't hand it over to painful thoughts about the illusory past...focus in the now and see the beauty of life, love and family right in front of you...if you do this, then EVERYTHING will change for the better, and crutches like "rot gut whiskey" will no longer seem relevant!
