These guys had it all, Daltry, a voice born to sing visionary lyrics, a driving Entwistle bass, and Moon mashing it all together... love so many songs from these guys.... maybe a modern American equivalent was the Replacements? Long Live Rock! 30 year Who Fan 1000x listened to Still My Favorite | Reviewer: crag | 10/9/07 An epic song. WWII?? All the Banners Flew! Where does Vietnam come in? Love the song for the music and words. Is there a contemporary artist writing the same stuff? Pete's WGFA knocks you on your ass! Powerful vocals of Daltry. We've all heard similar messages many times about politicians (ics)- same crap over and over. Politics and government won't save you but they might put you in harm's way for their own gain. ww1, 2, & 3 ? | Reviewer: database | 9/18/07 i think the song is about growing wise to the lies of the elite politcal class, and hopefully the people will wise up against injustices, especially those that lead to great world wars AND PRAY. . . WE DON´T GET FOOLED AGAIN. . . | Reviewer: capitán centella | 9/18/07 A song by itself can say a lot of things. Maybe in that period of time mean something diferent. But right now in latinamerica it´s an anthem of "antistablishment". . . we are sick of the same f*** garbage. And yes, the streets looks like the same. . . Awesome! | Reviewer: NH4RonPaul | 9/15/07 I just learned how to play this. I am an RP volunteer in NH. We need him to win, so we can get rid of the 'old boss'. :-) Social Consiousness | Reviewer: Ron Cairns | 9/12/07 Townsend sure "pegged it all with this song. It is all the values that were our parents become somewhat ours as we age. Then we see the changes. One thing I have learned is we all have to serve somebody. See the new boss, same as the old boss, not get fooled again, is and always will be right on Peter. Play on Plus ca change | Reviewer: Ken | 9/12/07 This song works on many levels. Ir rocks, no question. The key point is though that, despite our aspirations,not much ever changes. Message: STOP FALLING FOR THE CRAP THEY PEDDLE!! You have nothimg to lose but your chains - NOW, WHO SAID THAT? Who's the fool? | Reviewer: O'Reilly | 9/11/07 Sorry, but this song is definitely NOT about Vietnam. It is about post-Woodstock disillusionment. Townshend is feeling that he was fooled by the "revolutionaries" not the "establishment." He's saying that despite the "revolution" of the '60s, "nothing in the street looks any different to me." He's since recanted from the extreme cynicism of the song, but, hey, when you describe exactly what you feel at a particular point in time, it's not surprising if your view shifts a little over time. THE SONG ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/27/07 I 1st heard the song in tenacious d' pick of destiny when they powerslide under a door and the part near the end of the sond when they powerslide you hear the drummin and then YYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! pete townsend | Reviewer: petger martin | 7/26/07 i think pete townsend such a brilliant composer ,not only the way he writes the song but the poetry speaks for itself in every song ,how the way he arranges it musicly and lyricly; its amazing Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8
