Confused How Can A City Be Made Out Of Rock & Roll?!

WTF? The guy that made that song is a complete idiot. I mean really, doesn't he know you need lots of steel, wood, nails, and elbow grease. It's just plain daft!

Oppressing the 99%

If I recall correctly, We Built This City on Rock and Roll is a Starship song. Starship was formerly Jefferson Starship, which was formerly Jefferson Airplane. The song is about San Francisco CA and laments how it had evolved from a city of free thought, expression, and a haven for Hippies and those ascribing to socialist ideals in the late sixtys and seventies to a corporate centre in the mid to late eighties. Jefferson Airplane along with such bands as the Grateful Dead were instrumental in the creation of the Haight -Ashbury community. Haight-Ashbury became a mecca for hippies and free spirits and led to a great deal of immigration to San Francisco, which in-turn made San Francisco a major city. Without the influance of the artistic community in SF, particullarly the music community, it is unlikely that it would have ever grown to any significance other then as a port city, thus, in a manner of speaking, they did build that city on rock and roll. Ironically, it was that very atmosphere of free thought and experimentation that drew the PC makers and software developers to SF thus leading to the corporate atmosphere the song protests against. So not only did they build their idealic city on rock and roll but they destroyed their ideals via the same mechanism.

steel = metal

wood = boner = groupies

nails = nine inch nails = industrial

elbow grease = useful in moshpits

all that is connected to rock
