Just 'Cos You Got The Power...

I watched this BBC-documentary the other day concering Arena rock and... this song is considered to contain a political message which uses the potential of Arena rock. However misinterpreded by some... or a lot.



Other bands figuring in this BBC-documentary of Arena rock included U2, Police and Queen. In a short clip was Mötley Crüe shown as an example of Arena rock for pure amusement without political message. These BBC-guys and other so-called laymen cannot ever have listened to Mötleys (and a numerous other bands) songs.

Below is... a Mötley tune from about the same period of time which is full of - at that time - social criticism. So... who misinterpreded and who didn't?



Well... such a contribution to the public debate cannot miss out on this masterpiece signed mr Kilmister. I alwas beam over his ability to catch things just as they are without f**king censorship...



Any comments?

Well, metaphores are not for everyone.

And motorhead do not sing about starving people in africa. They focus on what our society does to our own people. Something I think is key, if we look what we do to eachother within a society, it is no great mystery how we can let people starve to death far away. Change start local and it starts with YOU!
