Either way you slice it, this is a great song if you want to medicate yourself. Rage succumbed to the pressure to the image, three stayed and one faded. Even then, they knew it would be difficult to play against the mainstream. Now they have more airtime dedicated to them than they ever did before. Did they make a lasting impact? Sure they did, in which column though. Did they win? They won accolades all across the board. Did they lose? In the philosophical and historical realm, they lost huge. They could never overcome the fact that history repeats itself. It always does no matter what. There will be poverty and oppression with every revolution. It called the nihilism of history (aka reality) and they accepted it. That the way it goes.
By the way, Rage and Dylan are masters without a doubt. Anything of Dylan's put to electric guitar is nothing sort of phenomenal. I am being contradictory, I love the music for the music but in realistic terms, their music was unreal because reality always wins.
