<<The song may be about an undercover agent as Jolene is referred to as " the life of the party" several times, although which political party is not mentioned. "When You Love Someone" is reflective of Ian's childhood surrounded by left-wing parents (see file # NY 100-25214) who ran a subversive children's camp (see files on The Minute Men, SDS, WEB DuBois organization, and infiltration of voter registration drives in the South by this field office during the 1960's.) >>
