Ever wonder what was the story behind this song?
So what is the story behind "Cracklin' Rosie"?
Diamond: "Cracklin' Rosie" was based on a folk story I heard when I was touring in Canada. I was told a story of a group of native Canadians on a reservation there, and on that particular reservation there were many more men than there were women. Those men that were left out in the cold and didn't have girls to spend the weekend with would share it with a bottle of very inexpensive wine called Cracklin' Rose. That bottle of wine became their woman for the weekend, and they actually called that woman Cracklin' Rosie.
When he said "their woman for the weekend" he meant it! Ewwwww
Next time you hear that song you'll think about it:-)
