Talk:Draggin' the Line

Questionable Drug Reference
Interviews with Tommy James and others deny that Crystal Blue Persuasion (see article) is about crystal meth. It is improper (WP:NPOV) to report only one side of the issue here. Sometimes a dragon is just a dragon. Similarly, this song has insufficient evidence that it's about drug use. You might as well argue Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" is about being arrested for drunk driving.

I'll speculate (though not in WP proper) that "Draggin' the line" is about working and a lower-middle class household - just like the lyrics say. DonWW (talk) 16:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

you'd be correct about that. And "draggin' the line" is southern slang for trolling; the fishing term. the boat sounds too subtle for people? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.17.5 (talk) 08:00, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
