Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Patrick Wanna Be	#1 by Patrick Bastien at Jul 7, 1985 at 3:29 AM EST
	Keith nailed it. French Revolution. Then in verse 5 ... Lessons taught but never learned... Long ago the mold was cast... To me it means we as the human race should realize what power does to most people when in the wrong hands, and we should learn from all the past mistakes made by Those people.

No Picture A Whore in Shee Average	#2 by A Whore in Sheep's Clothing at Feb 11, 1994 at 4:24 AM EST
	Glorious.

No Picture Wanna Be	#3 by ZeppelinPro at Jun 23, 1994 at 1:24 PM EST
	It's not about the holiday that French Canadians celebrate - you're thinking of Saint-Jean Baptiste day. It's about the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille in 1789 France. The French nation rebelled against Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette, both of whom were executed by guillotine for treason. Very good Rush song.
