fIREHOSE - Brave Captain

from the "Ragin', Full-On" album. Notice that the morons at MTV have incorrectly identified the band as "Firehouse" at the beginning and end of the video. I HATED it when people confused fIREHOSE, the talented and creative "alternative" band, with the now utterly forgotten, but at the time more commercial, hair-metal-power-ballad band Firehouse. I had a fIREHOSE bumper sticker and this happened to me all the time! UGH!

In case anybody notices the part where the picture gets jumpy near the end of the song, that is the way it is in the original too.

i love this song but if this is about reagan thats a bunch of crap because reagan was best president we had in our lifetime. he caused soviets to surrender with peace thru strength & also got the iran hostages back/.

@pbrick6301 I don't think this song is about Reagan anymore, but in my view, Gorbachev was the instrumental figure in ending the cold war with his Perestroika policies. Also, Reagan's people made an Arms for Hostages deal to keep the hostages IN CAPTIVITY in Iran until the moment Reagan was sworn in. In other words the Reagan in your head is even more of a media creation than the one that appeared opposite of Bonzo the Chimp on the big screen.

@iburl This "October Surprise" conspiracy theory was debunked 20 years ago. There's simply no evidence for it. I think the Iranians waited until inauguration day 1981 to release the hostages just to make Carter look bad.

@kp13822 I wouldn't say debunked, as much as officially covered up. Reagan administration later sold arms to Iran, and former Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, former Naval intelligence officer and National Security Council member Gary Sick and former Reagan/Bush campaign and White House staffer Barbara Honegger have stood by the allegations. They would know.

People who *only* associate this song with the Streets on Fire skate vid, are nearly as dumb as the people who only associate "Corona" with Jackass...

[TrevSwenson]

Just to settle this - The song's about Ed Crawford himself. (Written by Watt) Must've taken balls to play with Watt and Hurley after the legendary D. Boon's tragic death. ("There are doubts in your ability...")
