He wasn't disputing that CBGB is an acronym, he was stating that it's more than just "some acronym". Considering that CBGB was one of the most famous music clubs in the world I would tend to agree with him. Considering that Neil Fallon mentioned CBGB in the lyrics to this song, I tend to think that he would agree as well. |

I think that you're both right and wrong, BlatantAnomaly. The lyrics do make reference to the Chicago School of Economics and "free markets" (which is a term that still baffles me when applied to the modern American economic system, considering how bureaucratic and statist our system actually is, but I digress) and appear to address, at least in part, the ongoing global economic crisis. If the lyrics do in fact address current events then it hardly seems logical that the line "Wartime leaders get Nobel peace prizes" is a reference to Kissinger and Thá» receiving the award back in the 1970's. It seems much more likely that those lyrics are a reference to Obama, who, yes, does in fact hail from Chicago much like Milton Friedman and his Chicago school. It's really quite symmetrical when you think about it. |
