corin & carrie & janet will rock your ass or break your heart. this song accomplishes both. yes, it breaks your heart in a different way. you love your country but the powers-that-be are making us all look like knee-jerk barbarians and anyone with half a brain that dared to speak out (at the time) was villified as un-patriotic. good thing for the bush administration that things are turning out so well....(cough, i'm being sarcastic, cough, cough!)
anyhow, i was turned on to our girls when "dig me out" came out. i'm so sure i'm unique that way. i've always found the lyrics clever and moving, and the music emotional and/or rocking.
this particular album was especially poignant because they made it as a response to 9-11 (yeah, i'm sick of hearing people use that tragedy to validate their beliefs/agendas but sk came out with this record before that bs got out of hand and they're not cynical, republican politicians trying to scare the bejesus outta gullible citizens into voting for them). also, that's when we (the usa) waged a trumped-up war unilaterally. why does europe hate us so much?
anyhow, this song is pretty self-explanatory. and now i feel like johnny-come-lately cos this song is like 2 years old. cut me some slack. i just joined this forum tonight! i'd encourage any casual fans of our heroes to check out "the woods", if you haven't already. it takes a while to absorb but that album will rock your ass!
