Honestly, this song may not have as much importance to me as it does others, because I'm a child of the 90's...however, I was actually under the impression that atleast part of the song was referring to the hostage crisis in Tehran in 1979. But again, I could be missing the whole meaning of the song due to my age and not having experienced that political climate first hand. Either way, I still love the song. ^^

@rhithedwarf Nope, the 1979 bit is actually referencing a major gay-rights march into Washington D.C. on October 14th, 1979.
