I still remember the Sunday in the early 70's when we went cruising through our church parking lot in our fat red Torino GT and had the PUSHER cranked up full blast. That certainly made the natives restless.
a dealer=someone who sells you lots of sweetdreams(pot).a pusher=someone who sells you self inflicked death in the form of legal pain killers and other lab created drugs
having grownup in the 60's and 70's we had so much music that spoke of the times and war (nam) and it cool to see cats as young as I was then showing appreciation for the fucking great ole tunes....you all keep rocking and make sure you listening to the lyrics, there are true messages....rock on.....
As a recovering heroin addict(age 59-Alive only by the grace of God) I think God WILL damn the pusherman. He is NOT COOL like Curtis Mayfield makes him out to be.
The clarity of your audio is ON. Picture quality's great. John is getting much past due attention on VH-1s History of Metal. Born to be Wild was the first song to carry the line "Heavy Metal" when John bellows, "Heavy Metal Thunder!" John is a survivor /still\ in the music business, as well as surviving Nazi Germany. He and his mom, with 7 other people, escaped at night thru a fence in the 1940s. They had to pay a spy (or Border Guard). 5 men were spotted and machine gunned. (Sad & true) JC
It seems to keep cropping up in my life, friends who use drugs. No names. As a cop I had 2 dancers living with me. They kept hashish in the frig??? One of them got hooked on Cocaine, rehab didn't work, and we lost her to the pushers/pimps. In the Army we intercepted mules/donkeys carrying 400 large bales of Columbian Gold. The mules were ok, the people moving it died of lead ingestion. We burned the Gold and we got high off of it (jungle canopy kept smoke on ground). My Ex is hooked hard now.
The series 'V' is a fictional TV show that explains (revelation of method) what is really going on with the evil UFO creatures (real spirit Lucifer & spirit demon gods) on this earth. The John Carpenter movie 'THEY LIVE' is actually a docudrama that explained this fact about the UFO creatures 25 years ago, but most people care more about the foolish religion of sports than truth, freedom or saving their own lives! I have evidence.
she's a nice girl but what on earth makes an association between her and this song? she wasn;t even born at the times of this song... totally different spirit, totally different mentality....
Was reading what I just said and would like to clarify that I'm not an authority on how God operates. All of us sin and do evil things. The difference though between an evil person and good person is that an evil person will not try to change. Where a good person will try to better them self. I'm not preaching a sermon just stating my point of view. its hard to believe but the man who wrote most of the New Testament said "the evil I wish not to do that I do and the good I wish to do I do not"
He's actually asking God to curse the pusher man because he's out to destroy and kill humans by exploiting there weakness's and feeding his own selfish greed and entrapping people to feed his own self interest. He's not cursing his maker as the lyrics seem to suggest.That being said God can hurl down worse curses than we could ever hurl up. God can swear also and will fulfill his promises. God can also curse and swear
I see a comments saying this song is about drugs... and I suppose it is. I also think that it can be about anyone pushing anything for the sake of their own personal gain, with no regard for others or the ultimate outcome. I've recently tried my skills at telemarketing. Tell me salesman aren't pushy. Maybe popular culture encourages that. I mean, I get paid to bull sh*t people into stuff they don't need. Or do people need solar power? Am I pushing spiritual growth or the collection plate?
To me this song defines the difference between the "dealer" (sells grass) and the Pusher...( deals in heavy drugs to make money) my opinion...born 1960 been there
@klopapierpimperer Back then, we called a person who sold pot a "dealer" but the pusher pushed hard dope. Speed Kills! Heroin enslaves. That was the difference. The terminology has changed meaning over the years.
@klopapierpimperer yeah, song is anti heroin, not against all drugs. i always felt same way, smoked weed and tripped back in 70's, but never let them run my life
@klopapierpimperer Yes, back then dealers sold psychedelics (usually pot or "grass" as it was known then) and pushers sold heroin and were hated by hippies.
When I saw it for the first time, I felt like I was the only one who got Tarantino's reference. What a brilliant movie, and such a brilliant song to match.
Great song!

" If I were the President of this land
I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun" THEY HAD SEVERAL PROTEST SONGS, 'MONSTER" & 'SNOWBLIND" STILL RING TRUE
