DM the intense PJ of the early 90s that hooked us.
Dance the weird PJ of the late 90s into the 00s that kept us hooked.
Both iterations of the band are essential.

I'll bite. I imagine it referring to consolidation of power. With the media in just a few hands, a two-party system, the power of the 1%, etc., it's far easier for a situation to emerge where the many pay for the few's mistakes. These days could mean "in this era."Buby wrote:Pet peeve for me.VinylGuy wrote:I like the lyrics, specially the chorus. Resonates a lot these days.
Everybody else paying for someone else's mistake is not exclusively a "these days" problem.
Tiny pet peeve maybe. Other than that, I love it.
I think it kind of makes sense and I think it resonates with the contemporary joke that goes "Remember before the internet when we thought that people were stupid because they didn't have free access to information? yeah, well, it wasn't that."RockPusher wrote:I'll bite.

I think it makes sense for these days in particular when you think of where we are now in terms of climate change; we are careening towards the end of the planet; a handful of billionaires are causing it, and the same handful of billionaires could fix it, but instead they're blaming the poor for using plastic bags and the disabled for needing single-use plastic straws (and other products)Val wrote:I think it kind of makes sense and I think it resonates with the contemporary joke that goes "Remember before the internet when we thought that people were stupid because they didn't have free access to information? yeah, well, it wasn't that."RockPusher wrote:I'll bite.
