No subject

[Thomas Eckhardt]

According to Wiki HOTRS is not necessarily about a girl:

"There is a common perception that prior to The Animals the song was 
about and from the perspective of a woman. This is incorrect, as the 
narrative of the lyrics has been continually whipped back and forth from 
a female to a male cautionary tale."

I don't see Garrison here but suspect a veiled reference to the whole 
NO situation (Banister, Oswald, FPCC etc.) prior to the assassination. 
What would be the connection between Garrison and prostitution in NO?
