Violent Femmes - Children of the Revolution

My favourite version of this song. Don't own it of course, but wanted to show someone the video - if there's an issue let me know!

this song was written by T rex before the smiths existed. Your comment should be more like "nice reference to the T rex song 0:00 - 3:30 " on the Shop lifters page... or you know - however long the song actually is. I never thought the smiths were ripping off this song but now you got me thinking... those chords are VERY similar.

Gotta love a video that includes the Milwaukee Public Museum and a Friday fish fry!

That,s not very democratic now is it?

[MrAzdaz]

And while i understand we are not discussing matters of national security or politics per see here it does point to a form of self policing.I personally never vote up or down any comment.As i despise such group think.I am prepared to stand on my own two feet and stand by my comments .And while supporting comments are welcome i neither encourage or discourage them.In fact i dont really care.But i abhor censorship.Everyone is entitled to their opinion just dont say it out loud?

[MrAzdaz]

Ok now thats all cleared up and if no one understands it then you have only yourself to blame.I have only one last thing to say.I see the youtube nazis have voted down one of my comments.So much for freedom of speech.The majority rules here that is the two votes i presume it took to take down my comment.Such self censorship is highly dangerous and can lead to an edited view of someones comments by outside sources with their own private agendas/bias.

[MrAzdaz]

is restrictive.

This was one hell of an obscure Femmes tune; who knew they made a video for it?

Erm... in addition to Mr. Sharp's deconstruction of your comment, it should be noted this album was recorded 2 years before "Shoplifters of the World Unite" was released.
