Jerry used to have a pet dog that was a Bluetick Coonhound (a breed related to the Grand Bleu de Gascogne). It was called 'Monkey'. Hence, "fed the monkey man" from 'Between' on the Boggy Depot LP.
Always thought this song could/should have been a single. Very f**king cool.
"Slowly all the roles we act out become our identity
And in the end we are what we pretend to be"
@AnglerRising I always thought that the "monkey man" was his drug dealer, because he had a "monkey on his back" from a significant coke habit back in the day. So "feeding the monkey man" meant paying his dealer for his regular supply of coke (much like Layne did with his own heroin "monkey man").
