No, but I like the song.

I’ve seen the future... bigger than life and twice as ugly, if we’re going to live there you’ll have to drug me.

Head Like a Hole was a better fit with the thread theme.

Have you been able to figure out Young the Giant’s ‘It’s About Time’ yet? I can’t.

Another song that comes to mind is “Silent Running”

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to God
The Father and the Spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you?)
(Can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(Can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

Lords of Acid, Sisters of Mercy and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, and KMFDM all came to the Grenada in Lawrence, KS and were some awesome concerts! Best of times for me.

Thought you might like this interpretation.

But it is almost less of an interpretation, and more of an outright recital.

Interesting. Look for a lot more rock groups to start speaking to us in lyrics, until they, too, are silenced.

Trent was about 20 years ahead of the curve. He's good like that.

Trent has a bisexual side. That particular song is about his bi-ness.

Yeah, you beat Trent. (don’t know whether to put a smiley or a frowney).

What is interesting to me is that many of the Industrial and even standard punk groups nailed it. The only thin was they thought the great Satan was the political right.

All kidding aside, a random look through many of the lyrics of those genres lays out exactly the current situation. Sadly, many, like Henry Rollins refuse to admit it. Because they would have to admit they got it 100 percent backwards.

Ever see his wife? If he’s bi, (not doubting you) he’s even more screwed up than he looks.

He is. Or was. I remember the interview about it.

Coke is a hell of a drug. Heroin too. Not much else would explain it.

Naw. People go bi. Not everyone is wired 100% one way or 100% the other.

Take me. I would hit everything from the original lunar landing gear, to a hot chick, to a Sears wet-and-dry vacuum.
