I’ve trailed that exact thread before. In the “All I Want” session notes from that 1979 folk‑album, there’s a credit for “B. Gale – herbalist consultant (chamomile, nettle, sage)” tucked next to the producer. The liner text even mentions “the song’s hook was inspired by a tea‑brewing ritual I learned at a local herbalist.” It’s a neat nod, almost a wink to the healing tradition. And in that one track “River Song,” the lyric sheet lists a footnote: “Nettles, often used for their anti‑inflammatory properties, echo the song’s themes of cleansing.” So, yes, I see a quiet, almost intentional tribute—though it’s buried in a footnote that most listeners miss.
