I told him that's not what he is protesting. Then I told him he was protesting police brutality and the disproportional killings of African Americans.

I have loved Living Colour from the first time I heard this song. Lyrically AND musically-unbelievably talented. I LOVE the slight alteration to the lyric near the beginning, "Only you can set ME free", so that later on, it's "Only you can set YOU free". We accept the cult status, and it's only us that can reject the cult status. So powerful. Still one of my favorite hard rock bands, album, and song of all time. Please check out Desperate People by them next.

Yeah, this song is all about the duality of things in so many ways... putting the blame of the cult not only on the possibly corrupt leader, but also upon you for giving them that power. I love how this manifests in two closely related lyrics. In the first verse you hear “Only you can set me free”... as in a cultish leader can only be unleashed because of the masses behind them propping them up. In the second verse, though, it’s “only you can set you free”... as in you’re the one who needs to learn how to break free from “the matrix” of sorts. Simple but very potent lyrics...

@@padywac1970 It really is funny. Trump is just about the opposite of a cult of personality. Most mainstream media constantly vilifies him and his supporters. Even Fox is about 50/50 between positive and negative coverage. Obama is a much better example of a cult of personality, from the iconic Shepard Fairey HOPE campaign posters of his face to the videos of celebrities looking into the camera and saying "I pledge to be his servant", to the videos of school children singing hymns to Obama and the media types referring to him as "God' and "Messiah". He even got his 'Neon lights/Nobel prize'

This song came out in 1988. I remember when the video premiered on MTV & everyone was blown away by it. Vernon Reid is such an underrated master shredder on the guitar. Lead singer, Corey Glover (no relation to actor Danny Glover) was a young actor as well. He appeared in the Oliver Stone directed Vietnam war movie, Platoon (1986) with Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp, Willem Dafoe, & Tom Berenger. This song still holds true 32 years later; with our current society's state of celebrity-worship, being even worse today than it was back then...

I was in the Army when this song came out. My buddies and I were budding guitar players going out for the weekend. The radio DJ said if you are a fan of Hendrix, you must hear this song. He pulled over to the side of the highway, turned off the car and cranked it. After the song ended, he turned off the radio and we just sat there trying to take in and process what we heard. He asked, "Okay, who is buying it?" And we all raised our hands. I am glad you checked one of the most underrated bands of the 80s. Check out the Unplugged version Living Colour did awhile ago. Epic guitar playing and Cory still has his voice.

Ahhhhh, the f’n 80’s. So freaking FUN, and let’s not forget a decade of some of the BEST music ever, from Heavy Metal, Rock, Glam Rock, Punk Rock, New Wave and yes, dare I say, even pop music were the best!! Wish I could go back for a day, knowing what I know now. I would appreciate that era for what it was. Fun and excess were the norm! Fun, fun days!! (but I would say the same for the 60’s and 70’s as well). What the hell happened?

What the Hell are you talking about? Living Colour formed and operated in NYC. The nearest connection to what you wrote, which is still a million miles off is that drummer Will Calhoun had graduated Berklee College of Music, not UC Berkely, which is in California. Berklee College of Music is on Boylston Street in Boston, MA. 😬
