"Too Many Clues In This Room" reminds me of the Watergate scandal. The "clues" being the tapes. "When his crew threw his balls to the sharks" reminds me of the aides who cut deals to avoid lengthy prison terms.
As far as clapping goes, I never thought any of his tunes were "clappable". Most of the people attending his shows are not musicians, so they don't find anything annoying about it. I remember one time an audience was clapping to "Don Quixote" and during an instrumental break he looked at the audience, shook his head and said "no you don't". The clapping stopped.
