    #MisunderstoodMusic

    When this single was released, it was misunderstood as a white victimhood National Front song.

    Of course, this is The Clash, so of course not. The song was about the #whiteworkingclass standing up and fighting for self-respect just like the blacks and in solidarity with blacks

    'The only thing that upsets me is that we might have reinforced certain values of some people in our audience when our values were totally different. There were tons of guys singing along to "Fight For Your Right" who were oblivious to the fact it was a total goof on them' - Mike D of the Beastie Boys

    It's been an anthem for misfits for decades (We can be heroes just for one day')

    Well, yeah, it's an anthem if you strip out a lot of the lyrics.

    Unfortunately, it's actually about his divorce from Angie

    It's a radio-friendly lyrics. Lennon did this on intentionally.

    Why?

    "Imagine ...is virtually the Communist Manifesto. Because it is sugarcoated, it's accepted...
    Now I understand what you have to do. Put your political messages across with a little honey'- #JohnLennon

    Telling everybody to come along
    But white lines...blow away'

    Not sure HOW anyone thought this was pro-cocaine!

    '...and if you get hooked baby
    It's nobody else's fault
    So don't do it!'

    (It's in...the..lyrics)

    Poor #Sting has explained this song for decades! It's not a bloody love song. It's a song about a bleeding stalker and it's clear in the lyrics.

    He said he'd perform the song live and watch as couples are are cuddly.

    I really like your idea.
    Happens I know VERY well the Koolmoe Dee "Wild west" ("I used to live downtown,; 128th st, convicts, everything upbeats...") and the Springsteen too : he is anything BUT nationalist.

    Yeah, great idea.
    I myself thought for decades the song "abortion" by Black Uhuru was a pro-life song, made me sad cause I love that band.
    I recently learned it was the opposite, a totally pro-choice song.
    So yes, I will ad that #MisunderstoodMusic , thx for the tip ;-)
