Talk:Guerrilla Radio

This is all wrong. I don't have the time to research now, but "guerilla radio" and the whole trial stuff on the lyrics actually refer to a man that got arrested by using his radio show to bad mouth the authorities of his city.


 * Exactly. If this song was made in 1999, how could it be about the 2000 elections?

"More for Gore or the son of a drug lord", is a direct reference to the 2000 election that was between Al Gore and George W Bush. 92.1.111.247 (talk)

Meaning
It's not about the worthlessness of democracy!! it's about the 2000 election, and how the two candidates had very similar policies! in the video they say that that's the reason why so many people dont even vote--DaGrob 19:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

"If this song was made in 1999, how could it be about the 2000 elections?" They probably knew that an election would be held in 2000, dontcha think?

The album was released a full year before the elections, recorded earlier than that, and written earlier still. I think it's a bit of a stretch to draw these conclusions from the lyrics, considering how long before even the primary elections the lyrics were written. Granted, Bush was the frontrunner, but some more definitive proof would be nice.

The line about Gore is a referance to Gore as the vice president who was seen by most the brain behind the economic policys of the Clinton administration,

The video I've seen is about textile workers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.51.104 (talk) 20:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

This song, like every other song by RATM, is about very little, but provides an opportunity for them to scream obscenities at the top of their lungs and make money doing it.

You're free to dislike RATM, but it has very clear references to: 92.1.111.247 (talk) 22:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The lack of choice in US democracy (More for Gore or the son of a drug lord, None of the above fuck it cut the cord)
 * The fact that the real power lies in lobbies who control the money and who gets in to power (A Silent play in the shadow of power, A spectacle monopolized, The camera's eyes on choice disguised), especially as they control the media (They hold the reins and stole your eyes )
 * The reference to Mumia_Abu-Jamal is very clear
 * As is the naming being a nod to Radio_Rebelde
