Be it alcohol, marijuana, heroin, you name it. To me I think its just about getting away for a while and taking a drug. Drew from Buffalo, NyI think of Captain Morgan and Jack Daniels.Maybe he meant all of the above or none of the above. Only Billy really knows what he really meant when he wrote this song. I think when people write songs they leave things open for others to take it any way they want. Bone from Shelbvyville, InAny chance all of you experts would just take the song for what its worth? A song.Jake from Kinnelon, NjI always thought this song was about heroin, man I was wrong.And Billy Joel lived just outside NYC, heroin capital of America, and knew of which he wrote about.

Jrock from Everywhereman54 comments and counting.Mostly about what everyone THINKS the song is about."How bad can life be where you have to get that junked out?"

A quote from Billy Joel, Joel has explained to the audience that the song is about spoiled, lazy, apathetic young college students who don't care about much other than partying and having sex their family has money and paid for them to receive a good education, but they toss it away and don't care for anything except 'good ol' Captain Jack. It is an anti drug song,not about any particular drug, whatever your drug of choice is. They have no clue what having it rough means but it they think they have it rough. Their parents give them every chance in life including a chance of a good education and they only care about partying. Photocrazy from WashingtonBilly Joel has told what the song is about, it is about the suburban kids that only live to party and get laid.Mick H from Birmingham UkThis explains a lot - I had always interpreted "Captain Jack" as cocaine itself (might say more about me than anything else lol) I've seen him twice in the UK - the two best nights of my life (all of the rest were in The Player Bar in Charing Cross - the next best thing to Billy himself is his tribute act in The Players!!).I already know they will be superbly well written and completely captivating️ Oh yes, almost forgot, Billy Joel is as good of an impressionist as anyone around!️ Also, he was a very good Golden Gloves boxer! ️Signed, a lifelong Billy Joel fan.

As in absolutely 100 percent perfect!️ That concert was an A+ in syncing the awesome lights to the music, Billy's voice was flawless, the musicianship, set list, and interaction with his band members was so wonderful and unique!️ I literally watch and enjoy the 2006 Tokyo concert at least once a day. He's always had an extremely good voice, but he has polished his voice to absolute perfection! ️The 2006 concert in Tokyo was perfect. Unlike many other music stars Billy has simply gotten better over the years. The best concert of his, IMHO, is the 2006 show at the Tokyo Dome. A former girlfriend of mine grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same high school as Billy. He is a perfectionist, just watching him and how he relates to his great muscians in his band completely gives this away.
