Why is it that this song came out 35 years ago, and we are still in the same f***ing place?

@sunshynff 3 месяца назад

Because history doesn't repeat, but it almost always rhymes. The bigger question I want to know is, why are so many acting like we're living in unprecedented times, like the stuff that's happening is new? I swear if I hear another fool say something like...... "OMG if you sang that song/told that joke today Eminem/George Carlin/Patrice O'Neil would have gotten canceled in a heartbeat!!" No they wouldn't have, people got canceled 20yrs ago, it just didn't have a catchy name, and social media wasn't as prevalent for every tom dick and hairy to post their opinion...lol.

You are correct, in that you do not need to follow somebody if you do not believe in the message. Problem becomes people do end up following a message they believe in. All too many times when the person speaking that message, does not believe it themselves.

@terriertz5134 4 месяца назад

The leader not only doesn't believe the message they are speaking, they don't live their own message either but they expect their followers to live their message. A "Do what I say, not what I do" situation. Watch out so you're not following a natural born hypocrite.

I've got Glover's (singer) and Reid's (guitar) solo stuff and it's all f*ing amazing. I never understood why they weren't bigger. My late husband got to see them in a little club in Cleveland on their first tour. I saw Queen five times and he was still able to hold that over my head. RIP SBZ.

@mlinderict 3 месяца назад

If you want a VERY deep dive, look into the Black Rock Coalition (Vernon Reid was a founder.) Much positivity and drive there! In terms of this song, the message ranks right along with Rage Against the Machine. So much social conscience in much of their music.

@Nickel138 Месяц назад

The best way to understand the Cult of Personality today is to look at Trump. People love him, not because of his policies, because those change a lot, but because of who he is as a person. He can say anything, and do anything and still have a fan base. He has all the answers. If they don’t like it, it’s fake news, if they do like it, it’s all Trump. He’s clearly not a Christian, but certain Christians gave him power in their gods name. Some other examples are Joe Rogan, Kanye West, Elon Musk. It’s not the person’s ideas, it’s the person’s personality.
