What riff would that be?Who stole the riff from “ The Raspberries “ ...
The Eddie Riff mentioned earlierWhat riff would that be?
Which song did Eddie steal it from?The Eddie Riff mentioned earlier
Which song did Eddie steal it from? “ Go All The Way “ ( well known as one of the first hit Power Pop Songs )
The lines you have above, the beginning of the song, is telling people that if they want to do those sorts of things in a small town, they'll be dealt with by the locals that do not put up with that sort of crap. No cops needed, no jails needed, no judges needed - just good ol' justice like back in the old days.well to be a bit more precise, it calls for all of that against people who commit crimes:
Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like
Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
all those are crimes.
But you're right about the vigilante justice part.
Its frustrating because had this song came out and nobody said anything...99% of the world would have never heard of it. But...just like when some ignorant right wing loon tries to give a speech on a college campus...the left wing making an issue of it gives the object they are trying to criticize more stature.
Activists never cease to amaze me in their urge to inflict wounds upon themselves.
BLM/ Black Bloc / ANTIFA came to Redding 3 different times and all three times they were kept in check by Hundreds of Militia , Cottonwood Community Watch , 3 %ers , Oathkeepers ... and they knew the RPD and local CHP would not protect them . And most of the Counter protestors were CCW holders as it was in Shasta County .The fun part of course is that any BLM protest would be larger than the population of said redneck burg, much less anyone under sixty.
A decent dized protest could literally murder your entire small town in an hour. And you couldn't do shit about it.
Pussies.
About what , Los Angeles Area Guitarists ripping off Riffs ?Failzero you are mistaken.
They'd murder you like sheeple. There were tens of thousands at the Austin protest alone.BLM/ Black Bloc / ANTIFA came to Redding 3 different times and all three times they were kept in check by Hundreds of Militia , Cottonwood Community Watch , 3 %ers , Oathkeepers ... and they knew the RPD and local CHP would not protect them .

One well placed Sniper could Scatter 20 thousand protestorsThey'd murder you like sheeple. There were tens of thousands at the Austin protest alone.
About your accusation that EVH ripped of a riff by The Raspberries.About what , Los Angeles Area Guitarists ripping off Riffs ?
Yeah..vigilante justice. Most people are not cool with that. But then again...most people prefer our system of police, courts, judges, juries, etc...The lines you have above, the beginning of the song, is telling people that if they want to do those sorts of things in a small town, they'll be dealt with by the locals that do not put up with that sort of crap.

So if you are openly gay in a small town will they murder you? Sounds threatening. Sounds like people aren’t free in small towns.I saw the vid and it resonates with honest Americans both black and white.
He was vey careful not to say anything that crossed the line.Those offended are outraged because they resemble that remark...

Can we have a Biden bumper sticker in a small town?
Can we have an atheist parade?
Can a black man vote or whistle at a white girl?
Take for example these lyrics
Cuss out a cop…..
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough
Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Didnt they cuss out cops at the insurrection?
Does freedom of speech exist in small towns?
That's the problem. It's not yours. You hicks don't own the town and don't have the right to put your hands on someone who's not breaking the law. What are you going to do to me?.
I guess you won't be coming to my small town, since we're so un-free here.
We're cool with that.
