| I'm an artist and I've pulled a few fat ones off in my time quite by accident. So I can accept that the most mundane crap can be stuck together to make an accidental hit at times, but "Gardener"? The hurricane and howling at a mom all day doesn't say, "lawnmower man" to me. Sorry. Unless Lucifer did their lawn? Maybe that was it! Was the B-Side to this single, "Satan Is My Grounds Keeper"? In fact, I could stomach the lot of them shooting up heroin with Legion before I could take "Gardener". "Getting High With Satan" was probably the track's original name, based on what I hear about Keith Richards and his outworldly drug repertoire at that time. I've been told Keith did more drugs than there WERE in the 60s. | |

| They invented a character named jumpin jack flash then tell his story. They give him attributes similar to other historicl figures in order to bolster his greatness and give him a big mystique. They know that jack flash is heroin, but the song isn't literally about heroin. its something called a metaphor. song writers use it but its mostly used in literature. Its where they attribute the characteristics of one thing toa completely nuther thing. In this case, they make up this character named Jumpin' Jack flash, give him a bunch of amazingly legendary characteristics, make him out to be some kind of amazing guy that can't die and cant goes through hell and still keeps on ticking. So he isn't literally jesus, he is just given jesus like attributes to express the legendary status theyre trying to, you know, build him up with. He's freeking Jumpin' Jack Flash. Need I say more? | |
