mojocattI've had this video in my favorite for quite some time. It's a interesting music video, there is quite a bit to read into it.
The song also has a very interesting history.

What kills me is the various people who take positions on what the video and song says. Where the majority of people in the video appear to be left leaning artistic types, and some fundies have taken this to heart in the comments section of this video. The basic fundie position appears to be one of God's judgement in their favor, and they appear to be able to rant this for some length.
The basic point seems to be lost, don't matter who you are. We all gotta die, and we all have to be accountable for how we lived. Don't matter if your a liberal rock star, a bum under a railroad bridge or a fundie hiding your sin under a pile of bibles and moral code. It's something we all have in common and probaly should not waste time bickering at other about who is more likely to recieve the wrath of God, since it will distributed in an equal fashion.
