I don't care --- I played it on my Radio show 9/14/11 --- mostly boycotted --- only WVKR (me) & WFMU played this song after 9/11 --- again, i don't care if people don't like what I did.

This song has come to mean something different

@samdiveskihei Agree! The Stranger wasn't so much about racism and more about the disparity between the protagonist and the society that surrounded him. And while his ultimate act is murder, the murder comes as an extrapolation of a general philosophy that rules his everyday living: that his experience was the final barometer of right and wrong, and that he didn't believe himself to be sick for his own detachment, even if the justice system does.

You've done a great job on this track.

Please don't say this song is racist. It is based on the book "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. The book is about a man who commits a murder, the man he kills is an Arab, but this is less important than the fact that the protagonist comes to feel the murder made no difference. Ideas like this often get Camus labeled an existentialist although he claimed not to be. I get a real feel of the existentialist idea- perfect line.. Whatever I do it amounts to the same, absolutely nothing. Sam

So many versions of this song with COMMENTS DISABLED. Why? Because people have opinions, but rarely do they they see the validity of the opinions that differ from their own. People assume that this is a song of predjudice, a song of discrimination against those of a different culture. What if it was called KILLING A CAUCASIAN, DEATH TO WHITE CUNTS or CATHOLIC IS SHIT? Would the influx of vehement comments be so profuse? Its called an education, go get one, or go bomb a temple to make your point.

@azjustaz
For your knowledge, it's a song against discrimination, inspired by a famous book of a french writer : l'étranger (Albert Camus)...
