I remember being a 15 year old kid watching the Need You Tonight / Mediate video from INXS on MTV in 1987 and my father walking by in his suit (he was a lawyer), looking, stopping, and then pointing a finger at the screen while muttering "They stole that idea from Bob Dylan." I was like, "Whaaaat???" and he started in with "Johnny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine...." I thought he was nuts at the time but in retrospect, it was a great introduction to this song.
There's a difference between making a living and being a sellout. I'm a die-hard Socialist, yet I'm trying to get a job at several different corporations. You have to get by somehow.
You contradicted yourself; if you were a "die-hard Socialist" you would "die" before you sold out your convictions. If "Socialism" was so great, you'd be "getting by" with it. But obviously, it isn't adequate for you.
is that allen ginsbourg in the background?

It's useless trying to comprehend everything that goes on in that guy's head.
If you could understand it, I'd be watching a PirateMoose video right now complaining about him selling out.
