And a hivemind question-- the song Jackson (Johnny and June)-- she says 'I'm going to snowball Jackson...". The only meaning of snowball that I know is the Urban Dictionary type meaning. What the heck does she mean?

Snowball Jackson? I'm not sure where that is in the song, Sophia? She says "throw the top back/and roll down to Jackson-town/wanna be there on the stage with you..." etc? Is that where you mean?

It is right before "see if I care?" I think I am probably mishearing lyrics!!
ETA:
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.

All the lyrics sites have some variation of "Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair! Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson. See if I care." I have no idea what it means. The only verb definitions I can find in a regular dictionary are to throw a snowball at someone, which makes no sense there, or to make something bigger, which doesn't make too much sense, either.

OH, I was looking at a WHOLE OTHER "Johnny and June" song! Hah. (ETA: I thought you were saying the SONG was "Johnny and June", not the song was BY Johnny and June)

Yahoo answers seems to have a decent answer to this one: [link] They say it means he's going to roll through Jackson like a snowball gathering speed rolling down a hill. Also found one site that says it's not a drug reference, but doesn't clarify what it is.

That makes sense. I am pretty sure he did not mean [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
AFAIK, to snowball someone is to bamboozle them, fool them into doing something for you. Though now that I think about it, I can't recall where I heard it used that way.

Because books.
I think that's just plain snowing, Zen. The only place I can remember "snowballing" used was in that Julia Roberts movie Stepmom, but they never explained what it meant.
