Blaze Foley said the song wasn’t really about anyone specific. He is a backwoods kind of guy who probably doesn’t trust any politician from either side. I just thought Reagan because a couple lines where he says “he’s a movie star if you stay up late“ and “ he’s a real cowboy with his make up on”. It’s just kind of a cynical political song sung by a guy who’s too cool to care.
I just thought that it had a cool rhythm tone. Sometimes I have to take a break from strumming so I work on fingerpicking a little bit. It seems to be a different type of arm cramp so you can just switch to the other style when your arm gets tired lol
I definitely didn’t play the song the real way exactly the pattern it was supposed to be. I just kind of threw my hand at it adjusting on the fly and freestyled some thing that I thought sounded cool
