to be fair it was a genuine error on Derek "Zippo" Kidd's part

I have said before that for a long time I had thought it was the sound of a guitar string
breaking.
But if it was in fact a beer can it cannot have been Gord's own beer
because AFAIK that was only ever sold in the UK and in bottles not cans
Nor could it have been the Cleveland Ohio brew Edmund fitzgerald Porter
because that was not yet available or relevant when
SSOL was recorded (long before 1976)
and Sheryl cigarettes in England are "fags"
This use of the abbreviation should not be confused with the Public (i.e. private) school
and my old 50's boarding school practice of older boys using the younger boys as "fags/servants" see:-
FAGGING.
And a
faggot is either a bundle of wood used in bonfires or a delicious meat concoction made sinfully and cholesterrolly from Pigs liver and suet see a
recipe here

Whatever you do don't visit
http://www.fags.org it is not very nice!!

Interestingly
http://www.sexisforfags.com/
is a website describing
"The Sex is for Fags! Abstinence-Only Education Program produced by the US Dept. of Health & Human Services and the White House Office of Youth Purity."
