    I’d argue that Ring of Fire is a metaphor about forbidden love that you know is damning you but the feelings are too powerful to resist.

    Rather than a harmless metaphor, I find it an incredibly powerful metaphor about the pain and suffering caused by helplessly loving the “wrong” person.

    Plus, there’s an opportunity to make STD jokes.

      It’d be a more powerful metaphor if he wasn’t a massive manwhore and his “love” wasn’t any fan with great tits, or his second wife’s sister.
