| The Gun Club – For The Love of Ivy Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
damnrelb, I too posted because I wanted to discuss Gun Clubs use of the N word. Considering that their music is obviously a derivative of Blues (the first N* music if ya will) the line in Ivy almost seems out of place. I have to admit this line was shocking to me when I heard it back in the 80's (long time fan and a product of southern living). But regardless, I was always still a big fan of The Gun Club. Usually a misc . use of the N word could be forgiven, after all it was the 80's, but to say he was hunting them????? Quite shocking. Personally I hoping that someone has some interpretation of this lyric or Jeffery's real meaning behind it. It kind of make him sounds like he's a member of the KKK. Bearded please come up with some justification. The only possibility of interpretation that I can come up with is that is that he too was consumed by the hatred but found the love of Ivy even more consuming. Quite the pull if you ask me. I agree with Bearded that The Gun Club are one of the most interesting and complex in the history of rock and roll, but these lyrics are hard to justify. |
