The means can be addiction, but that doesn't fit "You can't have a cupboard My Interpretation I think ruarchitect is right on. The Laughing Lady: What a great symbol of addiction. First it is fun and the lady is laughing with you. Soon though you come to need her and her laughter turns to a taunting laughter at you. Later her laughter becomes a sadistic cackle at what she has done to you. Verse 1 Pretty Peggy is probable a young addict who has overdosed.
Verse 2 Probablly refers to the homless addict that has lost everything to addiction. Verse 3 The hopeless addict that will never quit even though they know it will kill them in the end. Verse 4 The addicted driver who drives home every night, stumbles upstairs in a stuper and fights with their spouse. Eventually shooting or killing them and not even caring as long as they have their drug of choice. JimmiP on June 18, Link. Hay I can see that, first a car is fun, later you depend on it and think it is the greatest thing in the world, later you find out you had no clue what a real car could do.

There's a fever on the freeway, Blacks out the night.

Young fundamentally wanted independence, and not to rely on any band members any more. So even though he was already jamming with a band called the Rockets who would later rename themselves Crazy Horse , and making plans to work with them, he wanted to work with people who would help him realise his own vision.
Obviously Jack Nitzsche, his current main collaborator, would be involved as arranger and keyboard player, and Nitzsche brought in Ry Cooder, who was playing on almost every worthwhile record coming out of LA at the time, to act as a second guitarist for Young to play off.
While Nitzsche, Cooder, and Young produced a handful of tracks on the album themselves, the bulk of the album was co-produced by Young and a new producer, David Briggs, who had picked up Young while Young was hitch-hiking, and whose most notable production credit at the time was an album for the stand-up comedian Murray Roman.
Briggs and Young soon found that they shared a common approach to production — with a belief that what mattered was not any technical tweaking, but just getting the performance down on tape as accurately as possible, with the minimum interference in the signal between the microphone and the tape.
Probably the best example of this style is The Old Laughing Lady, considered by most Young fans to be the standout track of the album. At this point, stereo was only just becoming the dominant way to listen to records, and a lot of people still had mono record players.
Stereo records when played through mono systems could sound odd, with phasing issues, and with cancellation and reinforcement of sounds. At the same time, though, it was uneconomical to keep producing separate mono mixes of albums.
What this did was, essentially, to cancel out large parts of the centre of the stereo spectrum, in such a way that it would uncancel itself when played through mono reproduction equipment.
