I tracked this guy down! I said, "Are you the guy who raped my wife, kidnapped my kids, killed my dog, burned down my house and stole my car?" He said, "Yeah!" So I said, "You better watch that shit." --Kip Addotta
Music has long been a tool of The People in their struggle against oppression, bad leadership, and corrupt systems. Some songs were rally- cries, others called for peace, and some just admonished the Man for being the Man. Some even made their way into the mouth of The Man himself.
John Mayer has a much more appealing solution, for lazy revolutionaries like myself: just wait. Sure seems a lot easier than all the getting up, standing up, overcoming, etc.
