true, but you never know what was going on with him when he wrote that...
perhaps he had just seen a shakespeare play,, or read one... or perhaps it
just came to him... i think "err on err" fits better than "air on air"... air
just doesn't make any sense...

wouldn't fit for an 18-yr-old Jeremy to write that -- specifically meaning
Jeremy and what we know about his writing, not age in general. "Err on err"
just seems way too arcane, I've never seen him use the word "err" anywhere
else and I've never seen him use Shakespearian English. I think perhaps
(it's
just a guess) he wanted a lyric to go with the more mundane "turned dust to
dust," so he came up with the corresponding "sang air on air." (onair?)
I totally agree that Rodeo Jones is a tragic love song, along with Theo B.
But there are other themes on the record too, like the religious themes of a
few and some very extremely abstract songs like J'Nuh.
