Now this song will be stuck in my head all day.

Sorry, blame it on the flashbacks...

But.. seriously, many groups have claimed this song as an anthem for "revolutions" and "causes". The GOP tried in 2006. Old Pete wasn't buying it.

"In its May 26, 2006 issue, the conservative National Review magazine published a list of "The 50 greatest conservative rock songs." "Won't Get Fooled Again" was ranked song number one. Pete Townsend responded on his blog as follows:
"It is not precisely a song that decries revolution - it suggests that we will indeed fight in the streets - but that revolution, like all action can have results we cannot predict. Don't expect to see what you expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything.'' Townsend then goes on to explain that the song was simply ''Meant to let politicians and revolutionaries alike know that what lay in the center of my life was not for sale, and could not be co-opted into any obvious cause.'' "

"meet the new boss, same as the old boss" Now that is what all of Washington DC is all about!! Red, Blue.... dosen't matter they get very little done for anybody besides themselves.
