What can I say? The "man's" got brains, thats 4 sure, you ain't talking here about a phony rockstar. Cos everyone has this feeling about us, they think they know what its all about. You're a rockstar, you're a dumbass. There are, I know, there always will be...of course we all get into RnR cos of the girls, can't deny it (but thats a long fuckin' story...an' it goes on and on...)but does this mean we don't give a shit about whats happening in the world? There's gotta be more, so why can't a "rockstar" say something along the way, add some of theirs(perhaps their ideas, perhaps just profound questions)? Throughout the years Mr. Lawless did this, so honestly, I don't see the meaning in 'picking' this way...WASP did records I wouldn't exactly define as political, maybe were not even into social kinda things, but, however, they pone good questions. A lot of us are into these kinda matters, who am I, what am I here (on earth) for? Does God exist? Ever heard of 'The Neon GOd'? that's like a story, part I and II, Crimson Idle, he is like telling a story, something going on, could be anything, could happen anywhere...another band named Queensryche did something quite like that, with their 'Operation Mindcrime', there's a lot in there. You guys should go there, and discover. Dig in, and don't trust every single line they feed you. especially newspapers, magazines, broadcast media. Dig out the truth and make yer own way through, read about history, and all the lies (or 'half truths') they've told us about WWII and so on. I might be going somewhere else, but I don't think this is opposite Lawless/WASP and Pete Townshend from Who with The Headless Children. Personally, I must admit, I dont think I had that idea, that time (or did I? can't quite say...)at least this is something yet to be discussed. Whether you are in the wrong or youre in the right.. 696176@blogcritics.org Mon, 18 Feb 2008 08:36:28 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/01/20/163627.php#comment-687671 Bravo, Blackie Lawless.
