I did! I don't think this song is going to hit the top of the charts based on those comments! LOL

Positively surprised by this song, not only because of the lyrics, but also because of the music. Would be nice indeed if it could become a Christmas hit, but that would be a bit late for the elections in the USA.
I suppose the video was made recently, but JA's anger regarding politicians should not be a surprise (think of The Gates of Delerium e.g.), although he is a bit (a lot) more explicit here. Haven't we all been deceived, since decades, by politicians that ought to represent us, but prefer to represent stake holders and their own interests?

Anyway, nice song, but I don't think it will change the world.

Lydon is a professional gadfly who often takes positions for the sake of provocation. The reactions he seeks to get are necessary for him to believe in his continuing relevance.

Don't get me wrong, I think Never Mind The Bollocks is one of the great albums of all time, and PIL was also great. This is not incompatible with Lydon having by now reduced himself to a gurning irritant.

I was trying not to say that Rotten was a has been trying to stir up interest in himself. But now I don't have to. Clap Good show.

Yes - he's one of those people that says outrageous things to make sure the media doesn't forget him. He doesn't care what he says, just so long as he is branded an Anti-Christ.
You shouldn't have tried to avoid saying it Steve - it's true.

Steve gets his names mixed up. For instance, according to him, my name is Paul. Wink

So much for the warm personal touch. LOL Btw, getting names confused is what old people do. I still confuse my grandchildren, and they're grown. They think I do it on purpose. Now, would I do something like that just to drive people crazy? Wink

Anyway, I enjoyed it. I thought it was very powerful. Apparently it was recorded in 2012 or something. 

So you mean Trump right? Looks like your keyboard went wonky on you..LOL

Yes but this isn't a political thread so I didn't want to spell it out. LOL

Please stop attributing that Johnny Rotten quote to me. I did not say that. For one thing if I do refer to him it's in the present tense and I would say John Lydon and not "Rotten." So from now if you quote that please change it so it doesn't say aflowerkingcrimson in it because that was not my quote. 

Here is the original quote you are referring to and it's from Easy Money not myself(note who's name it says):

There's also a Country singer called John Anderson, just to confuse us "old people" even more. Smile

Holy heck, I'm dazed, lol. I can't think of any precedent for a classic rock musician making a song (or a video) like this, completely outrageous! Lol, I love the wild crazy energy, not sure the music is all that great although the instrumental bridge was pretty neat. Jon's rapping sounded like....well someone just reading his usual cosmic mumbo jumbo lyrics is disbelief, lol. Idk how useful Jon Anderson telling people to vote is but I guess I'm here for it.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I don't know who he's trying to reach out to. Prog fans are not a big part of the population. I guess that 10 more votes is better than none.
