What the rest is about, though, is anyone's guess--starting with the title, which is "Draggin' the Line." M says that might be because it comes from the same era--the 1960s and '70s--that gave us the "Sleepy Jean" tune we posted on J's birthday a couple of weeks ago. He says that while some of their dogs may have been flower powered, a lot of the songwriters back then were more into magic mushrooms and wacky tobaccy, and this often made for some mystical lyrics.
But this particular song has a really catchy beat, and between that and ol' Sam the Dog's quirky palate, I'm hooked like a snook in a brook. See what you think. (If you prefer the full-size clip, here it is at YouTube. The advertisement at the beginning is pretty annoying and isn't part of the song, so you can skip that if you want to.)

Buddy,
Excellent comment on Robert Brault’s blog!
He’s also a deep thinker and an entertaining writer like you…and he loves dogs. You two should keep in touch.
Please thank M for the cool video of TJ’s song - one of his biggest hits. What a legend - first hit at age 16; still performing sold-out concerts at age 65; and teaching university seminars too!
