Thanks for sharing this rare footage from the great band Family. I've always liked the song but for some reason or another had never really put together the lyrics. Your interpretation makes complete sense. Blindness is a metaphor that reoccurs elsewhere in Family recordings. Viva Chappo!
Happy to do it, Walt! I use any possible reason to feature a video clip of Family so people can see what they missed! I approached this song the way I approached other Family songs, focusing on the eclectic arrangement, which then freed me to probe the words once I got the music! Charlie Whitney and Roger Chapman could write a clever song about anything.
