What's his deal with 17?

IE: "17 days"
"17 horns blowin'"
something on "Tambourine"

Did he lose his virginity at 17? 17 really bad dreams? His first paycheck?


Prolly just a silly question that'll wind up getting locked up, but I'm curious if anyone has any insight.

Didn't he hook up with Husney or Pepe Willie around 17?

Thanks. I couldn't remember the "Tambourine" one. And I knew there were more references I couldn't recall.

couldn't it simply be because 17 is the only number with an extra sylable?

se-ven as compared to one two three four etc

se-ven-teen as compared to fifteen sixteen nineteen

smile


although, eleven has 3 syllables too.

than again, both eleven and seven pop up in I wish U Heaven


if i see 11
u can see it's 7


so uhm it would just sound shit if he'd sing


if i see fi-ive
you can see it's niiiine


smile
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.
