Pete Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The original. And not the only JJ Cale song Clapton stole. Heck he stole JJ's whole sound. Skynyrd lifted Call Me the Breeze too. That is a killer cover with Billy Powell playing my favorite piano solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I learned something. John was probably the only noted SoCal musician of that era who was drug averse. I will also accept that John Lodge of the Moody Blues avoided that lifestyle choice, unlike almost every one of his contemporaries from the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Not many people know this, but the lizard they are referencing in the song has a slime on its skin that, when licked, causes hallucinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a teenager my Mom had made a comment that she played it alot because she liked the song. Well she used to like the song, until I explained to her the song was a euphemism about marijuana. According to the authors, the words are exactly what they say they are with no attachment to drugs. It is simply a song about loss of innocence.
