Paul McCartney song "Jet" -- what is it about?

[Mike 03]

For some weird reason this song has been circulating in my brain for the last three weeks. I thought I had a notion of what it was about, but the more it circulates, the less confident I am in my interpretation.

What do you think "Jet" is about?

Lennon and Bowie...close friends.

2. Wikipedia

Reviewers have reported that the song is about McCartney's Labrador Retriever named "Jet"<1><5>, but in an interview on British TV channel ITV1 for the program Wings: Band on the Run, to promote the November 2010 2xCD/2xDVD rerelease of the original album, McCartney said that "Jet" was the name of a pony he owned, although many of the lyrics bore little relation to that subject.<6>
