Yeah, that's what I meant. Even after hearing the song 5 times, I couldn't quite remember exactly what he said there.

So is this still considered spoiler stuff??

From the comments he's made about it, Al does seem to take a dim view of it personally, but in the song all the jokes were at the expense of the greedy rock stars and the hamfisted RIAA.

Just the point I made a few weeks ago. It's a benefit song for "starving" rock musicians! Classic!!

What does he say right after the line, "Even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong?"

I can't quite make it out.

Yeah, the topic is a bit dated at this point, but I still think it works. The power behind the chorus, especially at the end just adds to the ludacrisy (sp?) of the message. It's almost like he's screaming, "Enough with the downloading craze! Just buy the freakin' albums!"

I'm surprised noone's mentioned the absence of the word "HOOLIGAN" from the song.

what is the tommy chong referance??

"Just ask him"

I pointed this out (with the help of anth) in the non-spoiler forum where discussion is also taking place. After the line mentioning Lars Ulrich, in the background he sings "just ask him". That could be it.

the only thing I can think of is that Chong was arrested a while back for Pot.
