That's a silly answer from Mick. There's no requirement that you have to explain a song. If people know the background great. If they don't, either they can enjoy the song without knowing what it's about or not. No big deal.
I know when Lindsey did Gift of Screws in concert, there were so many people asking what it meant in email and such. Even when I explained it, they didn't half believe me. I guess they think associating Lindsey and a rock song with Emily Dickinson or perfume pressing must be some kind of hoax. But there's no reason to explain.
When you do a Storytellers type tour, that prologue is quite welcome and I can totally see her discussing Soldier's Angel in her solo concert, but for most concerts I don't think you should introduce to many of the songs.
