Nick Shaffner supposes that, but says that Rog will only comment this on the song, "It's about a lot of people I've known."

The obligatroy Hendrix perm was a blunt refernce to one of Syd's frakout sessions just before going on-stage, and "when I pick-up the phone" is a refernce to Rog's own failings with his wife.

The thirteen channels may also be arefernce to Syd's supposed hobby of watching more than one television at a time.
