Lyric discussion by Mad Slanted Powers 

Cover art for Freedom Rock lyrics by Frank Black and the Catholics

There used to be these ads on TV for this music compilation you could buy called "Freedom Rock". It was stuff from the late 60's and early 70's, Found the commercial on Youtube with a list of the songs in the description - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDk-mg1J9Q. If Frank was referring to this, then maybe it came "as a shock" to some people that an icon of alternative rock listened to all of that classic rock that many of the punks rejected.
