    To be fair, Dude looks like a Lady has a funny reason behind the song. Apparently Steven Tyler mistook Vince Neil for a blonde woman once, and the rest of the band made fun of him. The song is about that, and kinda self-aware that 80's hair bands have dudes that look like ladies.

    I went to one of Papa Roach's recent concerts and they had a short segment dedicated to talking about suicide prevention and Jacoby giving a short speech in tribute to Chester Bennington. Needless to say, Papa Roach clearly care a lot about the subject, and looking at their other songs, their intentions definitely lean closer to earnest emotions than glorification of their subject matter (one of their songs off the same album as Last Resort is literally called Broken Home). With how common and widely-discussed depression has become in the past decade or so, I think most people even today can understand where Last Resort is coming from (this is the same generation that grew up with emo rap, after all).

    • @Betta66

      To me it was always kind of obvious that he cared deeply about the subject cuz I remember a long time ago watching something that he was on and he was talking about how the song came to be, and from what I remember, he wrote the song because one of his best friends was going through a really fucked up time and was unfortunately suicidal at the time, so it was basically a first person view of his friends experience?

    Growing up in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, I heard the n word casually thrown around by both blacks and Hispanics all of the time. The few whites and Asians that were around usually refrained from saying it but it would come out during casual conversations at times and nobody would flinch. With Chino being half Hispanic and claiming to have grown up in the rough side of Sacramento, I can only assume that he probably heard kids using the word casually everyday and probably used it himself

      @brockhampton3078 6 месяцев назад +5

      @@radyoung779 Well since you've brought up context and intent, I'd point out that when you claim the N word is used in plenty of songs and it's fine, you're probably referring to the slur being used by black artists who aren't using the term to degrade anybody. This is quite different than the way the F word is used in Money For Nothing where the lyrics are insulting the person being called the slur.
      If we change out the slurs in Money For Nothing, there would be a huge difference between a black artist performing the song and saying "that little n---a was a millionaire" verses a white artist saying "that little "n---er" was a millionaire." The latter is the context this song is using the F slur in, which is totally anti-gay. Still really dig the song though!

    The first part of that quote from the interview with John Lennon is straight from the song "its Getting Better" from sgt. Pepper. Which came out many years earlier in 1967. I think most people knew about the abusivness if they were paying attention to the lyrics. He says that he changed and grew up. Which is up to each person i guess to believe him or not lol...

      @luke5100 Yes 100% agree man. Him being with Yoko was probably part of that, as well as their whole stint in india with all the spiritual stuff. (Even tho they ended up spreading misinformation about the Maharishi)
      We can never know what was going on in his head but its important to look at the context and to look into how he was raised and in what environment. If he saw his father beat his mother, he may have grown up thinking that was okay. Along with it not being as taboo at the time.

I guess not everyone can grow emotionally but there's more evidence than not that John did. It doesn't excuse his behavior as a young adult, obviously but a lot of people are awful people through their 20's and finally grow up.
