This is making me sick to my stomache.
how can he be allowed to interpret songs however he wants? "Janies got a gun" as a pro-gun song? "cult of personality" against state power? "dont tread on me" as a pro-war song?
jesus, he went and read the lyrics and assumed he knew what they meant, without paying attention to the music. i think "janie's got a gun" is a perfect example: the way he sings and the way the song builds shows undeniably that this shooting was a tragedy. id liken it more to a greek tragedy about spiraling vengeance than a fuckin pro-gun song. not too mention many of these songs that are about government are in response to conservative governments.
complete bastardization: Offspring's Why Dont You Get a Job's lyrics "capture a motive force behind welfare reform." Riiiiiiight. That's exactly what they meant.
Someone please tell me this is tongue in cheek. They can have Kid Rock, Creed, Graham Parker, U2, and even Skynyrd, but theyre gonna have to pry Maiden and Cult of Personality out my cold, dead hands. Theres a conservative argument against gun control too.

That link works for me. here is the link to the print version
