Uncle Sammy Hagar

Folk inbillar sig ofta att jag älskar Mötley Crüe och sånt för att "jag gillar hårdrock". Jag skulle spy om jag tvingats höra hela "Dr Feelgood" nu under 20-årsjubiléet (hela "Shout at the devil" skulle däremot vara en dröm). "Jag hejade faktiskt på H.E.A.T. i Melodifestivalen!" Som att jag skulle gilla slik bögpop.*

Jag gillar det jag gillar. Hatar mer extremmetal än jag älskar. Som att jag skulle gilla alla feminister bara för att jag är feminist. Jag gillar verkligen inte liberalfeminister. Och verkligen inte radikalfeminister. Och definitivt inte särarts"feminister".

Det blir nog ingen Chickenfoot på Rockweekend som sagt. Jag älskar verkligen inte den rödklädde gubb-bimbon till svartförsäljare av sprit Sammy Hagar. Eller Uncle Sammy Hagar som man kanske skulle kalla honom om man förstår Dead Kennedys text rätt (vilket inte torde vara mycket till teckentydning):


"Triumph Of The Swill"

Life can only get better
All you need to do is fall in love
Everyone else has fun but you
Buy that fun you'll fit in too

Dance your problems away
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Cheap escape to that mind-control beat
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Mellow out-Life's too hard
You don't even want to think

See the macho cock-rock metal heroes
Vomit fire out of their big mouths
Shake your fists obediently
Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud

See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar
Parachute on the White House lawn
Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar
So dumb he can't drive 55

Like Bing Crosby before them
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Too idiotic to be real
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
You want it loud?
We'll make sure it goes nowhere
So you won't get ideas

Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill

Music is banned in Khomeini's Iran
On the grounds that it stimulates the brain
We've done him one better in the land of coke & honey
Using music to put people's brains to sleep

Ever wonder why commercial radio's so bad?
It's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way
If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now
The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years

So what do we get
GOVERNMENT MUSIC
Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes
Shoppers strung out on our false hopes
Will flock to obey

Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
Triumph of the swill
