I wonder if anyone actually knows what "5150" really is/means?

IIRC, it's police code for an escaped mental patient.

I think you're close. If I recall it's code for a danger to self or others, or gravely disabled.


As a side note I used to run into Sammy in Marin County a lot during the 80s. He was always cool. I remember one time we were stopped behind him (he was in a Ferrari) at a
light and cranked up "I can't drive 55." He turned his head, laughed, waved, and floored it when the light turned green.

I saw both versions of VH several times and always enjoyed them both and was in the "Top of the World" video. Sammy was always best doing his acoustic version of "Eagles Fly"
