This song is about Edgar Cayce, a famous Christian mystic and quack, as all mystics inevitably are. Gladys Davis was indeed Cayce's stenographer. Cayce predicted LA and San Fran would be destroyed sometime at the end of the 20th century. Obviously he was quite wrong. He also believed in Atlantis and a bunch of other nonsense, like that the Piltdown man was real (it was a hoax).
