Feeling higher

Post by Docktails at 5 »

Listening to Miss You So Badly and was wondering what does Jimmy refer to when he sings "Got a head full of feeling higher..." Was is a group from the 70's or was he referring to the Roger McGuinn song "Feeling Higher"?

I never knew there was a Roger McGuinn song "Feeling Higher", but since the next line is about "an earful of Patsy Cline", I'd venture to say he's singing about Roger McGuin's tune.

I always assumed he had just lit up a fatty and was listening to Patsy Cline.

Unless he was a psychic, I'd go with the fatty explanation. :wink:

That song wasn't written until a year after the CILCIA album was released, and Roger didn't record it until a year after that.
