I wasn't saying it was "anti" communist, I was saying it was pro-communist if anything. And the song written in 1949 and the bell came out in 1950? That's pretty close! But... with that said, I do think that you're probably right. |

I think the coke fizz bit: you think touring in a rock n roll band is going to be all "sex, drugs, and rock n roll", but the joke is that it's not so much partying and doing drugs(coke), as much as it is spending another night on the bus and waking up to find you've spilt coke(a cola) on yourself. Perception vs reality. |

The writer is encouraging peace between the two conflicting ideas at the time, and, even currently. |
