spin_dry Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) The song tells the apparently true story (according to an interview in Sounds magazine, in June 1976, with guitarist Billy Gibbons) of several "rednecks" who weld together a spherical steel cage (inside of which is a VW-Bug seat fitted with a seatbelt), place the cage into the bed of their truck and at night, after reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h), on Highway 6 near Houston (also known as Jack Rabbit Road), propel the cage from the back with the hapless narrator taking a ride inside. If he lives, the passenger is granted the title "Master of Sparks". Gibbons holds that title. Edited June 19, 2018 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine the situation when these fucking crazies came up with this idea. Lots of beer, twisted imaginations, and way too much bravado. It is a cool story.
