240 DAYS UNTIL SWEET, SWEET REVENGE
First a question: how many better songs have been released since this one back in 1992? (Not many) Second, Rocky Top Talk is citing reports that Robert Meachem is turning pro. Glad that we could play a small part in that decision.
Uh, no. It's pretty obvious that the song is about Speech's faith and relationship with his religion. We're not talking hidden metaphors or sub-textual comments here. The message is pretty anvilicious.
Now, it touches on slavery, but the song isn't writ large about slavery and to imply that it is is, well, to be mistaken.
i am glad a song about slavery is your favourite song.
ReplyDeleteHow anyone could interpret "Tennessee" to be about slavery is really beyond me.
ReplyDeletewhat did you think the song was about tennesee williams?
