| Brian Head Welch – Flush Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about addiction to drugs and alcohol and trying to break the addiction. Though GrayLander hit the nail on the head with the interview with Head. btw, Adam, thats awesome! It'd be sick as to meet Head, what a cool experience that would be! |

| Rage Against the Machine – Vietnow Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"Vietnow" also contains numerous references to Christianity. Among these are "shut down the devil's sound", "undressed and blessed by the Lord", "evil angel's lists" and "is all the world jails and churches". Part of this is presumably due to the Christian right, and the abundance of right-wing radio show hosts. The lyrics "is all the world jails and churches", are perhaps influenced by the works of American novelist James Baldwin. Baldwin's 1953 novel Go Tell It on the Mountain includes the character Roy Grimes arguing with his mother and commenting, “You think that's all that's in the world is jails and churches?” At least one of James Baldwin's books is contained on Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire liner notes[1]. The line "comin down like bats from Stacey Koon" is a reference to Sgt. Stacey Koon, one of the 4 LAPD policemen videotaped beating black motorist Rodney King in 1992. He and Laurence Powell were the only two convicted of the four. The song's pretty much a blend of three things: Religion, society, and politics. |

| Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| THE anthem of anger for the Gen X's, and my favourite Nirvana song. Who could forget that riff at the start? A true classic. | |
