    Amber's 2 questions (9:45):
    1. The red flags uphill are a call to agitation, and to unity. Matadors wave red flags in front of bulls to anger them, and the color red has often been associated with revolution.
    2. The "bulls on parade" lyric is a sort of pun, because that's a phrase often used at protests to say that the police or the military are there/charging at you, but it also refers to bulls as in Wall street bulls, people who buy and sell stocks aggressively, especially in weapons dealing, and make millions off people dying overseas.
    The whole song is a criticism of the military's massive budget and the lyric "they rally around the family, with a pocket full of shells" refers to how both US parties in the 90s talked about "family values" while funding war and weapons over healthcare, housing, education, etc.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens 2 роки тому +29

      Uh, the red flags are very specifically symbols of the international communist movement, just as the black flags are symbols of the international anarchist movement. You'll find both on the insignia of many "antifa" (anti-fascist) groups, as the two communities have frequently had to work together to avoid extermination by the fascist menace (communists, anarchists, and trade unionists were some of the main targets of Nazi purges, along with, of course, Jews, Slavs, Roma, the disabled, homosexuals, etc. Bet you can think of some current groups that share that list of targets).
      "Bulls on parade" comes more-or-less from The Great Depression (caused largely by the oligarchic economic system we're currently and inexplicably replicating), when many desperate people were forced to resort to making dangerous leaps onto moving box-cars in order to move to new areas in search of paying work. Private rail companies would hire vicious mercenary security guards (the "Pinkertons" were one well-known and reviled example) to roust such riders. These aggressive guards were called "bulls", for obvious reasons, and "bulls on parade" meant a bunch of them were coming to crack the skulls of anyone they found, so best get steppin'.

    Song is from the album: Evil Empire, released: 1996. This song deals with the US military and their aggressive tactics. It mentions how the arms industry encourages war to get military contracts with lines like, "Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal-animal," and "What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and moving."

I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library. Line up to the mind cemetery, now. What we dont know keeps the contracts alive and moving. They dont gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em while arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells. Rally 'round the family, pocket full of shells" Pretty profound.

      It's also about how the right-wing "family values" message has a heavy undertone of racial bigotry, in an attempt to create fear in its adherents. The right-wing, as we see even today, wanted white people to be terrified of "thugs" (thinking you can guess their hypothetical skin-tone) invading their homes and killing their families, so they'd be too busy "rallying around the family with a pocket full of shells" to notice the oligarchs who fund this racist culture-war nonsense making-off with all their wages.

    "Bulls on Parade!" is metaphorical slang used as a warning that police/soldiers/gov't officials/etc. are present, and/or taking action.
    As it pertains to this song, it was written in response to the Communist wall being torn down in Germany in the late 80's, all the while the US was creating another wall at the border of Mexico. With the Soviets no longer posing a perceived threat to Americans, the military-industrial complex created fear of a new "enemy" down south, stirring up fear of Mexican and other Latin immigrants infiltrating. Fueled by this propaganda, hundreds of migrants were killed along the southern border.
    The overall message of the song is that while "the machine" tells you their concern is for the protection of American families, the real concern is creating more enemies to justify continuing to feed the "cannibal animal" that is the weapons and defense industries. The needs of the poor are ignored, they lack food, housing, and education. Libraries continue to empty, while arms warehouses, like our prisons, keep getting full. Keeping the masses uneducated so they don't realize what's really going on by feeding the public the message that it's about protecting families, not protecting the profits of weapons industries.

    "Rally 'round the family with a pocket full of shells". My best interpretation of this has always been that politicians love to throw up the facade of family values while stuffing their pockets with blood money from the military-industrial complex and the NRA.
    Alanis Morisette is a great female artist to start with, along with The Cranberries. If you're looking for something harder you can check out Garbage, Hole (this one might get some hate), Evenescence, Meredith Brooks, Veruca Salt, Sleater-Kinney, and No Doubt. Indigo Girls for something a bit more folk music-like. Unless you're looking for something older, then you can check out Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Bangles, Fleetwood Mac (one of the leads is the most perfect creature on the planet, Stevie Nicks), Jefferson Airplane, or Heart. Maybe something really hard? Try Kittie and Jinjer. Maybe some ska? Try Saving Ferris. There are bands with female leads that I'm not really familiar with like Paramore, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, or Halestorm.

    "Rally 'round your family, with a pocket full o' shells (If you stand your ground and act like you're going to protect yours at all costs, then...)
    They rally 'round your family, with a pocket full o' shells...
    They rally 'round your family, with a pocket full o' shells...
    They rally 'round your family, with a pocket full o' shells...(They will respond by surrounding you with their legions and their pockets full o' shells to put you down... there's more of them than there is in your family unit and that's why they get a repeat 3x of their line... you get one. Better make it count...)
    I think this overall viewpoint is supported by the fact that his verse states "Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes, not need... just feed the war cannibal animal." There's a super energetic call to what is actually a Passive style of resistance over violence here slid into the mix that asks the listener to realize that all they're doing to violent protesters is "filling the cells" and then your response is right back to "Rally round the family, with a pocket full o' shells" which says that to keep doing this over and over is to just to rinse-wash-repeat this whole mess over and over. The existence of the band, their name, Zach's lyrics... you could all say they are their way of encouraging folks to find INTELLIGENT ways to protest that can disrupt their lil cycle here instead of participate in it.
    Just my two cents...

    The "mixer" sound you are talking about near the beginning of the song is done with a guitar pedal called a "Wah" pedal. That's a pretty standard pedal. The "scratch" part is also done by the guitar. Tom Morello is doing a technique of scraping with his hand up and down the guitar strings I believe he is also using pedal effects during that portion as well and using the pickup switch on the guitar as well to toggle between two pickups to cause the sound to cutout when he wants it to.
