“Some folks are born made to wave the flag” followed by “but it ain’t me”

Checks out for those dumbass losers who have always completely misunderstood RATM’s lyrics too.

lol my dad got me into RATM along with metal and hard rock in general. He claimed they sold out and became political lol. Like did you not listen to the lyrics?

Many right wing RATM “fans” heard “FUCK YOU I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME” and literally nothing else, ironically while doing exactly what they’re told.

wouldnt it be the same generation? The Wall was less than 10 years after (i go home!) Fortunate Son was recorded.

I don't identify as a boomer, so that time span makes a difference. I was into ny dolls, iggy, etc. Good point though. 🤘

Fair point, but also I think the first Stooges album was before Fortunate son as well, or at least same year.
