This series there club are doing 'Behind Blue Eyes'.

Did they actually think the title of that through?

It's a Who song that's from the perspective of "the bad man" and has had a bit of fascist interpretation to it.

What sort of standard controls are they using when a song title like that gets through into the club's PR campaign?

Unbelievable how thick these people can be.

Jesus you're really scraping the barrell now to find things to critiscise :lol:
 

Behind Blue Eyes:

Townshend’s vision of a futuristic fantasy, wherein people, driven indoors by a climatic catastrophe and a tyrannical government that deprived them of all recreation including religion and music, were administered with artificial reality experiences through intravenous tubes. “In a way, they lived as if they were in television programmes. Everything was programmed,” Townshend explained. “The enemies were people who gave us entertainment intravenously, and the heroes were savages who’d kept rock ‘n’ roll as a primitive force and had gone to live with it in the woods.”

The story’s principal hero is Bobby, a hacker who infiltrates the government’s mainframe (known as The Grid) to inform people of Life House, a rock ‘n’ roll happening that will liberate attendees from their “forced hibernation” with a universal chord that resonates with each individual’s harmonic frequency. His arch nemesis is Jumbo, the imperious controller of The Grid, who leads his security forces to close down Life House.

The song is from Jumbo's perspective. A character that works to preserve the fascist dictatorship.


🤷‍♂️

Absolutely daft and under researched decision to use that song title for a club youtube series. Thats my point. The club's official media are a bit thick if they thought that was a great idea. They need a few tutorials on symbolism.
