Chip Away - Duff McKagan
3:21
In an interview, Bob Dylan called this a song that has "profound meaning" for him, seeing it as a analogy for creative acts like Michelangelo revealing the statue inside the marble block. The lyrics show anger at then-current (and ongoing, really) political trends, the "chip away" implying that progressives should fight steadily against this encroachment. I could see Dylan singing this, actually. "Talking heads are making dollars / It's like doing crack day after day / Dropping taxes on business ballers / It'll work this time, they say / Gotta rise up, gotta keep fighting." I like when Duff calls MLK and FDR "badass motherfuckers" and says they would put a stop to all this.
