[1989]
In 1989 while studying politics during High School this tune came out while my fellow students were trying to figure out what side they were on and what they thought they believed etc. etc. but we knew it didn't matter. Power was power and it didn't care.
A guy (I've forgotten the name of) tried to come to Australia and was stopped because he was saying some shit that certain Jewish people didn't like and then bang we knew that we were were not free to say certain things. How could we be a free country if this dude couldn't come in and say what he wanted.
It has been fucking surprising over the the last 35 years but mainly the last 11 or 12 years in particular that people did indeed get pushed into picking a team despite the fact that we all knew it made little difference which sports teams held power. People are tribal though and they love sport... and most don't understand the new technology of propaganda.
Anyway we all know the church ladies switched sides and then who even knows what any left/right political crap means these days. The censorship from the boring people started to come from the so called right-on trend-setters but it was the fucking same same thing. A sad state of affairs continues but all the normal people know we are are being fucked over and it doesn't matter which side you're on. The overlords are going to rule how they like wether you like it or not. You will have their policies and you will love them.
Interestingly Max Q were signed to a multinational corporation so you've gotta think it was some kind of containment mechanism having them on their roster. These sorts aren't that naive.
Anyway what a great song and a great sentiment when unity seemed possible.
