Mahgeetah

[bigger_rooty]

Hey everyone I'm new to this board, and I had a question that I would really appreciate being answered:

What the fuck does Mahgeetah mean?  The song kicks one ton of ass, but I really wanna know what it's about.

On another note, I consider myself to be pretty plugged into underground music, but I had never heard MMJ until about a month ago when I saw them in Entertainment Weekly of all places.  The reviewer compared them to Neil Young, as seemingly everyone does, so I knew that I had to check them out.  For once, EW was right.  This band is so mind-blowingly trascendent.  I can't remember the last time that I fell in love with a band this quickly.

Last comment,
Amen!
I listen to LOTS of music. LOTS.
MMJ are the real deal.  
Great melody, great execution live, great lyrics ( ambiguous but uplifting ), great passion.
And the guys are genuine and not "jack offs"
You will have a tough time finding a band around now that's got that much going for it.
They are, frankly, in Snoopdoggese - the SHIZNIT!!

Check out their Christmas CD.
One of my favorites.  It's fucking great.

It might be a rephrasing of the word 'guitar', it might also be a nonsense-thing, like Jim has had more than once. Remember the 'My-don-ron-ron' in The Way That He Sings, or the ending of Steam Engine, wich sounds something like 'Li-da-dum', or whatever. If it means anything, Jim is probably the only one who knows and I doubt he'll answer if you'd ask him.

I agree with O. At first, I thought that it might mean My Guitar too. But now, I think it just might mean nothing at all. Well... nothing to us. Mahgeetah, I think, lives only in Jim's mind. But who knows? Maybe Mahgeeta is the name of his lady in some weird way.

[hipkink]

Maybe his lady is his guitar, and that's what the song is about. Just Jim, a bottle of wine, the fire, and his guitar.
