this wasnt made to spite rollins in any sense. when rollins got asked to go play with black flag he asked ian what he shoudl do and mckaye straight up said "go for it" so rollins sold all his shit for a plane ticket. i think this song has to do with the early years of the band but dont quote me, just read the minor threat chapter of Our Band Could Be Your Life, its good and they talk about the meanings of a handful of minor threat songs.
@joshwasinger I found "Our Band Could Be Your Life" on pdfdrive, thanks. So it seems pretty clear that this song was about his failing out with Jeff Nelson, and also very likely the "straight edge" ideology was the main source of friction.
