| Lou Reed – Women Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
That's the beauty of Lou, he loves women AND pussy. "I couldn't keep my hands off women And I won't till I die" It's the duality that exists in all great songwriting. It's REAL. Loving a women's body is part of who they are. It's not objectification it's celebration of women as a whole. |

| The Rolling Stones – Black Angel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song is about Angela Davis and her wrongful link to the murder of Judge Harold Haley. | |
| Morrissey – Irish Blood, English Heart Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Leave it the Morrissey to follow a song like "America is Not the World" with this one. Thanks Moz I never doubted you! Let me say first I'm American. Wait, hear me out! I happen to know a thing or two. (Oliver Cromwell and his men slaughtered 3500 Irish in the siege of Drogheda, 1649. Check out Elvis Costello's "Oliver's Army" for further pop music history lessons.) Bottom line, this kind of critism of the things you love is what America and the U.K. need now more than ever. Not preaching, just straight up truth. | |
| The Smiths – There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is the honesty and wit that makes The Smiths one of the best bands ever, period. I think it's about a young man coming to terms with his homosexuality. He has been shunned by his suburban parents and longs for the city. He is attracted to his friend but is gripped by a "strange fear." Ridiculously beautiful expression in a way only a handful of men have ever had the ability to convey. | |
| The Smiths – Death of a Disco Dancer Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I thought maybe Moz might have been inspired by the murder of Kitty Genovese. She was a girl who was murdered in Queens in front of her apartment. Genovese was attacked three different time over a period of 30 min. Many of her neighbors (up to 38 people according to the NY Times) heard or saw the attack but didn't intervene because as one one woman said she didn't want to "get involved." Great Song! Like everything the Smiths did. | |
