Trump Thinks Britian Is Spying On Him On Orders From Barrack Obama

[Crossless2.0]

Brian, you pick the strangest hills to fight on.

Tom Sawyer t"he gets by on you", and "mean mean pride" kinda negates the other line "don't put him down as arrogant".

Red Barchetta 

"My Uncle Has a country place
No one knows about" implying his family or at least his extended family is well off.

lol, you realize that the latter is set a few hundred years in the future, and is not autobiographical?

Barchehettas are two seater sports cars. Teen boys certainly can have an affinity to those things, I did at one time, but I also came from the suburbs and my family was middle class. Those lines in that song do not strike me as a poor family or even middle class family in desperation.

None of them came from wealth; they were all three born into middle-class families. And their lyrics, written by Neil Peart, do often espouse libertarian views, but that hardly means that 1) their oeuvre has an agenda pushing upper-class concerns, or 2) your interpretation of a couple of isolated lines is apt.

You might want to learn a little bit before opining. You're not doing yourself any favors.

I am aware it was not autobiographical.

"He said it use to be a farm
Before the motor law" 

You keep a large parcel of land in the family over long periods you can make money off of it or sell it at a huge profit. I looked at the tiny town house I grew up in, even that. My parents bought it for a mere 30k back in the 60s. My mom sold it for 90k in the 90s. Looked it up on google a few months ago and it sold in 2015 for over 350,000. 

The song is about a middle class teen finding escape through a hobby. Really no different than how ABBA songs appeal to teens wanting to escape by dancing or dreaming of dating.

. . . if their dancing and dreams of dating take place in a repressive police state set in the future. But yeah, otherwise really no different.

-- What on earth are you doing, Kristina?!?

-- I'm sticking it to the man!

-- Really? Can I stick it to the man, too?

-- You bet! All you have to do is sway to the music. Yeah, that's it! You can dance; you can jive!

Then you should probably not cite it when you try to support a claim that they're "trust-fund" rockers.

UGGGG, both are about escapism. You are getting stuck on the lyrics. Red Barchetta is about a teen who wants to get away from the world by breaking the law by speeding. I was a teen once, I did stupid shit myself. Dancing queen appeals to a teen who wants to get away from it all by dancing. 

I also like Metallica's "seek and destroy" song. I think between all the stupid shit I did as a teen that almost got me arrested, or dancing, dancing was the least likely thing to get me in trouble. BUT both are about appealing to how teens release stress. Neither Red Barchetta or Dancing Queen address anything deep, like poverty or war or oppression. 

RUSH's Red Barchetta isn't the same as say writing a song about fighting social injustice. It is just about a teen who likes driving fast. Having gotten speeding tickets as a teen, I learned real quick that shit is not worth it. I still like the song, but no, that song is not deep one bit.

In the nineties I went to see Rushthe hold your fire tour.

Neil Peart did a fifteen minute drum solo then held his drum sticks high, "Good its over I thought" then the drum kit rotated to reveal another, slightly different drum kit and he did another fifteen minutes of hitting things in a way that I assume was clever.

I wonder if it was to give the other two a fag break.

lol, his drum solos were fucking annoying (I saw them three times, and he did seemingly the same goddamned solo each time).

And Hold Your Fire was '87-'88, Gramps. Losing a little of the ole memory banks, eh?

Hmm I went with my now wife and I met her 5th October 1990.

Maybe they took a looonnng tour.

She gave birth to my eldest son wearing the hold your fire t-shirt, ruined it she did.
