| Dr. Dog – Jackie Wants A Black Eye Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
from drdogmusic.com “Jackie Wants a Black Eye” “It’s one of the most literal songs that I’ve ever written, and it was important for me because I had been in a bad state for awhile,” McMicken explains. “I had this one particular night where I was particularly depressed, to the extent that I realized that I needed to get out of the house. So I walked to this bar about four blocks from my house, and I don’t’ even drink, but I knew I’d run into people that I know, and I ran into my friends Jackie and John, who are both the main characters in the song. It turned out that Jackie and John had arrived at the bar that night in a very similar position, where they were both really bummed out about stuff in their lives, and I stumbled into this situation with two people that I could really easily commiserate with. We sat and talked for a couple of hours, and the way I felt upon leaving there versus how I felt when I showed up was such a radical shift that I couldn’t help but feel like there was some greater significance or something to be incredibly thankful for. I went home that night and I wrote that song. I was just thinking back and paraphrasing the things that they had said and throwing in the things that I had said and my assessment in the chorus. And then when we recorded it, me, Jackie, and John sang it. That was something that I was really proud of.” |

| State Radio – Gunship Politico Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
direct quote from chad himslef... “Gunship Politico” is sort of my own name for a gunboat diplomacy. Just the idea that if something’s wrong, trigger happy politicians resort to war. One thing that “Open Up” is sort of like it is the School of Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, also known as the School of Assasins, and it’s like a way we basically trained dictatorships to fight against their communist rebels in their own countries like in Nicaragua and Guatemala. Only because we were scared of communists, we would train these guys all these torture tactics, and really we were behind a number of different terrible atrocities in Latin America. It’s just like mind-blowing once you get into it. It’s that kind of mentality that really pisses me off. As far as “Gunship Politico,” it sort of has to do with saying you trigger-happy politicians, “I hope you don’t get what you’re after,” which is basically war. Some of it also comes from the Aminu Dialo, again sort of racial profiling, you know killing a guy just because he’s reaching for his wallet; he looks like he may be threatening or something. That’s some of the lyrics. It sort of starts off as a guy writing from prison, writing a letter to whoever’s in charge. The political prisoner is writing a letter to the gunship politico. When it says, “you let loose on the running man,” it’s the different accounts of policemen terribly overstepping their authority and you know, shooting. Dialo is just the most famous case. That stuff happens a lot. Like Leonard Peltier or something. That kind of police arrogance. It’s pretty mind-boggling. It sort of comes from that, it’s basically a song decrying against violence. More of that there are other alternatives than shooting a guy with forty-one shots or us going into Iraq with our smart bombs." |
