GUEST,Grishka Bobbie McGee's 'harpoon' (119* d) RE: Bobbie McGee's 'harpoon' 20 Sep 17

@Desi: According to the ever authoritative Big Whal Ittle,
  1. the narrator was a former whaler
  2. who kept a little harpoon in his "bandana" – presumably a small red suitcase meant for band-aids and other medical stuff.
  3. Being on drugs, he spied a whale on the Mississippi and uncased his harpoon, shouting "Thar she's blowing!" – sad!
  4. while Bobby, realizing that her friend was hopelessly hallucinating, sang the blues and eventually slipped away.
Easy, innit?
