Mother, Father ; Dissapointment?

[Shadowsong]

I'm not sure how anyone could find fault with "Mother/Father"! It's a BRILLIANT song! As someone else in this thread alluded to, I believe the chorus is in fact a biblical reference. Perhaps one of our Bible thumper friends can weigh in on this


At the end of the day, I'm not sure the meaning of the song is terribly important. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a brilliant song, and when Freddie Mercury was asked the meaning behind it, his response was "I have no idea"!

Biblical? It is indeed about alcohol destroying the Family. How the fuck do you thumbdicks pull biblical words out of this?

I know you are not that dense. There are a number of Journey songs have spiritual references in the lyrics, as well as spiritual references in symbols on their cover art...most significantly TBF, in lyrics and cover. I don't see how in the world you haven't seen and heard them all this time. Go read some lyrics.

Fuck off Phyllis. The pimple on my asshole knows more about Journey than you do.

Yes, I am well aware of certain biblical and spiritual lyrics in their catalog.

Don't fuck with me Phyllis. Not today.

You started it and if you knew then why pretend like you don't? I see you need some more help.... Get out of the desk chair more and wash your ass daily and you won't have a pimple problem on it..

Don't underestimate the power of the pimple.
Dean's pimples have a life of there own.
One of them gave birth to the great avatar.

Never look a pimple
straight in the eye
& if you hear it hiss
Run for your life...

By the way, Journey/BA was 83, not 81.

Which of those shows did you attend? Sometime during those days, they had Hagar and Aerosmith triple bill.

BA opened for Journey in 1983, on Journey's Frontiers tour.

The majority of the Frontiers tour, BA opened, but also played his own gigs when Journey took nights off. Who'd have thunk BA would eventually become better than Journey?

Sure. Luckily BA can't replace himself!

Im with you on BA btw. Might as well ask this here. Any idea why the tune Diana was not released?

There are a few "sensational" stories about that.

Some say he was linked romantically to her. He wasn't allowed to the concert for Diana, because her sons thought it was "not in good taste." That should tell us something.

Also with regards to the release, I don't know. The Romanian will be in here fast to correct me I am sure.
