thanks Carne for putting into words what I was thinking upon reading face of glass post...
everyone spins their own interpretations of favorite songs and lyrics and rightly so, if it means that to you, it is true for you...
but anti-American sentiment subtely "snuck in" by Lindsey as an "I told you so, nanananana!!" political statement onto one of Stevie's patriotic songs seems quite far-fetched. Also considering Lindsey would then be criticizing himself 'cause last time I checked he was still an American citizen. 'course if face of glass gets a direct quote from Lindsey supporting this position, then I'm wrong...
but it is not right to mock even one death...no matter what your politically motivation but it is right to be shocked, dismayed and to feel the heartache. Even if you just witness tragedies as a live observer or just on the evening news, the heartache of a stangers death can get to any compassionate human being and it just may be so "never-ending" that you write a poem about it, which gets turned into a song.
My heart went out to the Iranian earthquake victims and so did my money but never any "i told you so" comments...
btw, just curious, what's the death toll from terrorist attacks in Finland???
