When people experience how contact with a savvy rock star can revolutionize their lives, they sometimes seem to grow entitled and to expect such help in ever expanding areas of their lives even as they grow resentful of what they have to pay. They also seem to sometimes neglect getting help the right way, i.e. ways that don't enslave, i.e. listening in school, studying on correct behavior, hiring therapists, etc.
Recently I posted a thread on the Soviet humor popping up on Youtube. Some of the jokes start to sound sinister when you realize they were poorer before communism and they seem to be saying "when are we going to clean out another country or more thoroughly enslave our own intelligent folk?"
In the West, we went from "Revolution" saying you have to keep it a secret that it's about Chairman Mao, to Sugar Ray describing how he borrows someone's "halo" to have "a weekend or a one night stand," how realizing how wrong he's being "left [his] broken heart open and you ripped it out" and how "she always rights the wrongs." It is obvious he is not singing about a girlfriend but some sort of Mafia slave because who would correct some insensitive creep so they could go out and have affairs?
So they've grown entitled to rapport with intelligence to provide more than just bread, housing, medicine, and defense. Some apparently now want to look like fancy big shots and go around having affairs.
But, you might say, his friend/advisor is being paid and maybe it's what she wants? Then we get to "how do you afford your rock & roll lifestyle?" in which some commie tries to scorn away the notion that people should be paying for rock & roll.
I somehow highly doubt the band was advising accepting one's limitations and renouncing the things which the likes of Sugar Ray obtained from using rock & roll. More likely that they want to communize intelligence. (I think the song may have come out before Sugar Ray but it doesn't really matter.)

Quote:How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar,
The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show?
And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar,
One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show?
And how long will the workers keep building him new ones?
As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones.
