Stoned Soul Picnic Lyrics

Lyric discussion by charles117 

Cover art for Stoned Soul Picnic lyrics by Laura Nyro

a song by Donald Fagan called Blues Beach includes the lyric "its just a stoned soul picnic for the early resigned" I guess in homage to Laura. But what the heck is a stoned soul picnic? Is it a picnic where they get stoned and listen to soul music while they eat?
