I started, but have not yet finished, The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory by John Seabrook. It was interesting reading about what a milestone this was in the development of modern pop music.
(I stopped reading because I decided I should go back and listen to the songs as they’re referenced in the book, especially ones I wasn’t familiar with, but haven’t done that yet.)
I loved this band until I learned that they were overtly Nazis. This song is about experiencing euphoria when seeing the swastika. All That She Wants is about the mythical welfare queens. I used to like their music but now that I know the meaning, it nauseates me.
Is this really true? I believe one of their members has some connections, but that seems like quite the conclusion to say that is the intended meaning by the group.
The Wikipedia pages on the tracks don’t seem to mention this. Smells like it might be a tenuous connection if any. If that’s really true, why would they leave out such an important detail? I find this hard to believe.
Also, you’re accusing the other artists in the group of being Nazis. Why? I see no apparent connection aside from that one guy’s past.
