Tommy Hall (lyricist) was an existentialist and well read. I see this song as possibly his response to much of what was coming out of the Beat/Hippie philosophy at the time i.e. Neal Cassady could be Dr. Doom and "read your recent letter" could be one of the letters to Jack Kerouac which had great impact on the movement. Just a thought :)
Just the fact they are liked by loads and that link , tag works . More impotant things to comment on like the amount of dust on top of my front door !!
Yes you are correct they are part of the pioneers of San Francisco Psychedelic music, though I would call the scene more Folk and Blues and less country

when I get my cover band together and we do our world tour, this song will be our opener for every show.
when this tour earns enough money, I'll buy a time machine and go back and see
these guys perform this live.
Who want's a ride along?

@falkenhayn98 going to see a band that did the same song for every opening would be really annoying. just sayin'.

How on earth is this mod? They were the pioneers of psychedlia, their roots are in rock n roll and country. Not mod at all, in fact the opposite.
