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]

angela gustafson to you? Of corse. But to me (a right leaning libertarian), it sounds like every pro PC talking head or leftist politician promising a liberal utopia and NEVER delivering. The left has promised the black community for over 50friggin’ years that THEY would make their lives better through government policies......45 comes along and makes life better (economically) FOR ALL, black unemployment was the best its ever been in friggin’ history.....yet he is still hated. All because you and people like you are good little sheep buying into the narrative of “orange man bad”.

[@plpmb]

@@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'

Come Again has a more incredible performance from Ted in my opinion. It's ridiculous

1988, We loved these guys and they rocked.

Mushroomhead - The Heresy Mushroomhead - Seen It All

[@marzann1449]

Exactly! Alex told that Mushroomhead is fuckin' great, but what after that? Nothing! We want Mushroomhead back!

[@johnmugavero29]

Wow dude...I remember this tune on mtv...its even more relavant now things being what they are. Great react and glad you got to enjoy a great tune :)

[@archevilangel23]

Its when a leader speaks their reflection lies

[@roberttruhn5067]

This song is 30+ years old. Listen to the first two albums to see how far we HAVEN’T come. Also, I find it so dope that you started this with a clip of leotard-clad aerobics folks, then playing a video of Corey Glover wearing Body Glove ...

[@rollomaughfling380]

Hah! Nice catch!

[@sammylane21]

This song is not only infinitely relevant but it was also CM Punks intro!

[@Hellraiser988]

They came personally and played it for him at WrestleMania if I remember correctly

[@sagemckearney1193]

Vernon Reid is a crazy guitar player. I love that you got into this song so much.

[@sameerahmadmujaddedi]

CM PUNK

[@chrisbuttonshaw2088]

[@alankreilick8229]

One of the Best songs of its time, and what you see on the TV on a daily basis today. One of your best Betsy, many thanks.

[@gr33n3ggs4]

Yeah.... same reaction everyone had 32 years ago when they premiered this on Head bangers Ball . Drop dropping on how good they are.

[@paulathomas9621]

Alex, I LOVE these guys, I remember when this song was first released, these boys can rock!!! 🤘🤘🤘💯💯💯

[@phazerboy]

As we watch Trumps second impeachment I listen to the lyrics..."I exploit you still you love me. I tell you 1+1=3."

[@singasongwithjimmydooda]

For me this was my introduction to rock and roll. I didn’t give up my love for hip hop but this is amazing, and as you pointed out, this was the 80s. Hair metal ruled the airwaves. The lyrics and delivery and the riff and groove just all connect so perfectly
