When I heard Living Colour's "Cult Of Personality" for the first time in 1988, its high energy vocals and blistering guitar shredding impressed me. I listened to the tune numerous times during my senior year of high school and freshman year of college.
Today, I'm zeroing in on the lyrics as I listen, and the tune seems disturbingly, eerily prescient. On this day, lyrics such as, "I tell you one and one makes three," hit too close to home.
I want to believe this is an overreaction, but I'm not convinced of that yet. I'm sure I have plenty of company there.
