Totally. I remember that phrase he said 'I like to fall on my face, I like to hurt myself, I like everything'....at which point this track starts. First skate vid I ever saw, and probably one of the reasons why I'm still skating today. This track matched his section perfectly.
It be interesting if someone made a video for Corona. I envision actors reenacting the events depicted in the song spliced with archival footage of the band. Since "I Felt a Gringo" is about the same event, their 4th of July '82 trip to Mexico, they could make a video duology of Corona and IFLG.
I would to hum "Felt Like A Gringo" every time I heard the revolving steel gate come crashing around as I entered Tijuana Mexico from the border. Then of course after a mile or so I would cross the bridge over the sewage canal,uhh river to downtown Tijuana MX, Revolution Street, where I'd grab a ...Corona.
Just a few miles West is the beach where somewhere I'm sure camped the Minutemen on that fateful 4th of July 82 trip.
One of my favorite songs ever!

This was the track from Jason Jesse's part in the Santa Cruz video 'Streets on Fire'. Great skate vid and this track suited his section perfectly.

Wow, that Michael Moore sure can rock.
Along with Tricky Dicky's finest 2 minutes and 31 seconds.
