RussTCB Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think Axl wants us to blame it on the Falun Gong or something.I had a vision of closure but was unable to keep a grip on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I think it's more the political themes as metaphors for personal emotions than overt political statements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohlovelyrita Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Even in the U.S., meditation practices (like Falun Gong) are looked at as negative and evilthanks to the bible-thumpers who misinterpret it as a living document.I know of a story of a guy in prison who took up meditation. He was criticized as trying to communicatewith the devil or evil spirits. I think for the Falun Gong reference alone, Guns N' Roses will get acclaim in the future for being social activists even if it was just used as a metaphor -- it is a strong lyric.
