When you say that about the bad man comin' thru Stagger Lee, I think you are ovver analysing... Stagger Lee is the kind of man who is coming through no matter what obstacle.. a folk Grendel if you will.
@emilita28 WTF?! The line says "what do I care about your two little children, loving darling wife". Wanna find drug deals behind songs better dig in another place.
@lobizoon1 aside from what is going on in the audience, it is also reference to lyrics from "Six Days on the Road" a song Taj often covered as well. Who's ignorant now?
@rodeo76 The song's line is "what do I care about your two ittle children, lovin darling wife". I think you are the ignorant, having favorite an Elvis Costello video...
Brother Taj is a treasure!

"..bad man... comin' thru Stagger Lee.." Is he saying that Mr. Lee was possessed?.. by the 'bad man'? an interesting wrinkle, that... ^..^

Yes, it was in Germany, as far as I can remember 1995 or maybe 1996, I think in Cologne. It was the first time I have seen Taj Mahal.

@lobizoon1 He/she meant what's happening in the audience, not the lyrics.
