This happens with a lot of stuff. Pop culture only has enough time for memes not full content. Look how many people still think “Born in the USA” is one of the most patriotic songs ever.
I actually bought that stupid album. Listened to it for a while, then threw it out.
Haven't listened to the moron on purpose since.
Same goes for Hannity's "Independence Day" bumper music on his show - the song was about girl whose mother was an abused woman finally killing her abusive spouse in a house fire - all the while no one in town would step in and help. Yeah, that's inspiring.
Or that Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine” is sung in praise of the drug.

There’s no irony in the album cover. Bruce used the flag and his butt to sell albums. So Reagan and America exacted justice.
It’s a great album, regardless.
