@andrealves3104 Жыл бұрын

Well feller, bad news: I remember that specific logo, and it was ripped from MTV Brasil during the late night music videos they used to air from 00:00 to 06:00a.m. back in circa 2008. Met a lot of good bands there, but MTV Brasil does not even exist anymore (at least not in that way) , since it was re-aquired by viacom media that stuffed it with their plastic reality shows.

When I would listen to this song in middle school circa 97' it totally went over my head; it took me time to realize the song is sarcastic social commentary. Henry wasnt a doer of drink or drugs, he was, and still is, a doer of things. It's likely that in front of the TV the same time every night with a beer in his hand is the most uninspired place he could imagine.
