    Maybe you might lose some 'fans' over this statement, but you just won at least one new fan here in Europe! It takes more backbone to recognize and tell the truth than it does to bow to the expectations of others and tow the line.
    Damned good job, love the songwriting!

    • @the_jtek5142
      @the_jtek5142 8 лет назад +4

      When did he mention Terrence? By his words hes saying cops are hunting down black people and he says if you dont understand then you aint black. hey bud you're not black either. Obama is president and now you can choose where you eat. Obama didnt fix civil rights! He has however made racial tension the worst in 40yrs.

    • @josh0g
      @josh0g 8 лет назад +8

      He doesn't mention Terrence because that happened THIS WEEK. Different day, same story. But you want to say id's a false narrative, and pretend it doesn't happen at all.
      Also, pay attention to the lyrics. That line about Obama winning doesn't say he fixed civil rights unless you listen with the comprehension of a kindergartner.

      Martyn Hughes I don't necessarily have a definition to give you but if you go look at what pop music is today you have folks like Ed Sheeran, the Chainsmokers, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, the list goes on... DBT is one of the farthest things from pop music. They are a southern rock punk band.

      Josh Davis which is pop music. Pop music isn't just attractive people playing shite on radio 1. It's anything "popular" and to some degree "martketed" to the west. There's no shame in bands reaching a wide audience. Especially when they have something to say other than "club, girl, club club drink"

      Dave Lowery no, don’t think so. I don’t think that there is a systemic genocide against black young men. I think there have been a dozen or so very tragic incidents, and a handful of out and out felonies by police officers, but not a genocide. That would look more like dozens killed every week. However, I respect everyone’s right to voice an opinion, and I sure do like DBT.

    This song hit me hard. Great tune. Here are the lyrics
    He was running down the street when they shot him in his tracks
    About the only thing agreed upon is he ain't coming back
    There won't be any trial so the air it won't be cleared
    There's just two sides calling names out of anger and of fear
    If you say it wasn't racial when they shot him in his tracks
    Well, I guess that means that you ain't black, it means that you ain't black
    I mean Barack Obama won and you can choose where to eat
    But you don't see too many white kids lying bleeding on the street
    In some town in Missouri but it could be anywhere
    It could be right here on Ruth Street, in fact it's happened here
    And it happened where you're sitting, wherever that might be
    And it happened last weekend and it will happen again next week
    And when they turned him over, they were surprised there was no gun
    I mean, he must have done something, or else why would he have run
    And they'll spin it for the anchors on the television screen
    So we can shrug and let it happen without asking what it means
    What it means
    What it means
    Then I guess there was protesting and some looting in some stores
    And someone was reminded that they ain't called colored folks no more
    I mean we try to be politically correct when we call names
    But what's the point of post-racial when old prejudices remains?
    And that guy who killed that kid down in Florida standing ground
    Is free to beat up on his girlfriend and wave his brand new gun around
    While some kid is dead and buried and laying in the ground
    With a pocket full of Skittles
    What it means
    What it means
    Astrophysics at our fingertips and we're standing at the summit
    And some man with a joystick lands a rocket on a comet
    We're living in an age where limitations are forgotten
    The outer edges move and dazzle us but the core is something rotten
    And we're standing at the precipice of prejudice and fear
    We trust science just as long as it tells us what we want to hear
    We want our truths all fair and balanced as long as our notions lie within it
    There's no sunlight in our asses and our heads are stuck up in it
    And our heroes may be rapists who watch us while we dream
    But don't look to me for answers 'cause I don't know what it means
    What it means
    What it means

A guitar maker in Athens takes these old guitars completely apart and replaces the bridges, takes the backs off and reshapes the braces and turns it into a really playable guitar; both Patterson and Cooley have his restorations. I know so much about it because I have one that's identical to his. I bought mine off Ebay for $100....

      This comment is so stupid you must be a simpleton. So I guess I'm going to have to break it down into easy to understand bite size pieces. Don't worry I'll use small words.
      "When this record flops." Stupid because.
      A- True DBT fans are known for their loyalty. B- DBT themselves are not known for giving any kind of a shit about record sales. C- The two tracks realised thus far have been well received by press and public alike. D- This video has 75 likes and 8 dislikes from under 5K views, do the math. ( Oh sorry numbers probably confuse you.)
      "I hope they go back to making good records." Stupid because.
      A- They haven't made a bad one. B- Your idea of a good DBT album is probably down to you not understanding the lyrics. I'm guessing you think Aftermath USA is an anthem for the American way of life because it has the letters USA in it. (Hate to break it to you but think you need to know, same thing with Born in the USA)
      "Or just break up" Stupid because.
      A- You think they will break up because the album will flop and I have covered why that is just stupid.
      "This preaching is just awful" Stupid because
      A- I'm not even going to deal with why you think that preaching against the pointless, needless, death of anyone is "awful".
      B- What I will ask is how you could ever have liked DBT in the first place. Patterson is a fucking preacher, always has been, and proudly so. When he stops preaching then I'll start worrying.

      I think you'll find Ramon Casiano is a Cooley song. Same message, different time but still "political".

      expectingrain1 expectingrain1 I’ve known Mike since high school. He’s always been a liberal minded person. I know he and Patterson won’t lose a wink of sleep because some right wing bigot doesn’t like their “preaching”.

    "He must have done something, why else would he have run?"
    Not the greatest song but at least there are some artist not just chasing dollars spouting meaningless self-aggrandizing nonsense about poppin bottles and crap

    christ, hood looks like shit in this. not really sure I'm convinced with the new direction, social politics seems to be very popular over there in the land of the free right now. songs like this feel like a dime a dozen, shame the truckers decided to start writing them as well. doesn't really strike me as there strong point but I'd love to be proven wrong. bring on American band.

      They've always woven in politics...
      and dime a dozen? I mean Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals had a great album this year, but aside from that it seems a lot of people are dancing around this topic.

    Longtime Trucker fan, probably seen them a dozen times in 5 states. That said?This song sucks. The whole album pretty much sucks. I have grave concerns about their future.
