      Steve Miller told the story of the song in a intervieuw with Mojo november 2012: I got this funny, lazy, sexy little tune, he recalled, but it didn't come together until a party in Novato, north of San Francisco. I sat on the hood of a car under the stars with an acoustic guitar making up lyrics and I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker came out. My chorus! the some people called me the space cowboy and the gangster of love referred to earlier songs of mine and so did Maurice and te pompatus of love. You don't have to use the words. It was just a goof.

    It's amazing how much control Steve has. Not going overboard in anything he uses for his music. They are all done just in the right perfection, the right balance. Also I've admired his guitar playing, especially his slide playing (which is tremendous, thank his teacher Les Paul). When talking about talking about classic rock, Steve has every right to be mentioned. Very noted for his innovation especially back then. Special effects that come out and new things, he masters them well.

    September 15, 1990 - The Steve Miller Band had a UK No.1 with “The Joker” 16 years after it's first release. The song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974. More than 16 years later, it reached No.1 in the UK Singles Chart after being used in "Great Deal", a Hugh Johnson-directed television advertisement for Levi's, thus holding the record for the longest gap between transatlantic chart-toppers.

    Saw The Steve Miller Band last night in Vancouver, BC at the PNE. He's 72 years old now and you wouldn't have known it by his energy levels. Fantastic show! He's deservedly in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame - although he doesn't have much respect for it.

    Steve Miller ROCKS!!! This may sound strange but I LOVE it that he does not have a crazy light show. I have light sensitive epilepsy and I prefer to see a show like this where I don’t have to cover my eyes while I’m there. And, I LOVE many of his great songs. I’ve been a fan since I can remember. I also love his message, “Peace, love and happiness. Take care of each other.” The same as Ringo Starr. I love him, too. ✌❤🙂
