Talk:Captain Jack (Billy Joel song)

message: This song is definitely not about drugs. It is about masturbation and he says so directly in the lyrics. --David
:I always assumed Captain Jack meant heroin when I listened to the song.. "just a little push and you'll be smiling" is almost definatly a needle reference. --insertwackynamehere 18:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about heroin at all.  At least I've never once made the connection.  I keep running across this analogy on various different sites.  From the begining, I've associated it with drinking/alcohol.  For what it's worth, he mentions pot and masturbation in the lyrics.  Hell, he even mentions closet queens.  Could we go so far as to say that's what it's about?  No.  Alcohol.  Thats what it's about.  He's been a struggling alcoholic for years.  I'd give credence to the anti-drug notion if I could see a source... it does seem plausible. But, 'H'? Nah. It just doesn't jive with me. DasGooch 07:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

That article states that it's about drugs, and says that he considers it an anti-drug song. Since NOTHING in this article is sourced, I'll rewrite it.

2. My title at the time was Music Director, not Program Director.
I don't know whether it needs a citation.  I'm new at this.
Thanks,
