I did always wonder about that, but I wasn't bothered by it. I enjoy the song for the music and exotic imagery conjured up by the lyrics, not the fact that it's about being a globetrotter in search of "good smoke."
I was a diehard fan of theirs for a while until my tastes drifted away from prog rock and towards roots, garage and alternative rock. I was quite intrigued by their recent Feedback EP, although I could have done without the Stephen Stills/Buffalo Springfield covers. I've always had a disdain for sappy, collectivist hippie music!
