A "cult of personality" is when a person is promoted as great and/or becomes even bigger than a movement they're in or behind. Sometimes this happens deliberately, as with Stalin. Sometimes it's the result of the power of their personality. This song is so well-written. I thought the most striking moment in the video is when it showed MLK and the lyric said "When a leader speaks, that leader dies."

The song is about how a dynamic personality can persuade people into actions either good or bad. Charisma is hypnotizing. Kennedy is juxtaposed to Mussolini to illustrate how a dynamic leader can inspire despite the message. Kennedy was the young leader that inspired hope in the US, and Mussolini was the Fascist leader of Italy who stood with Hitler in WWII. Both inspired because of their personalities. Cult like, if you will.

Cult of Personality refers to political and cultural leaders who's charisma generates wild, blind devotion from the masses. Those who follow them (the cultists) do so without any regard to the truth behind the public face. These types of leaders are incredibly dangerous because they wield a staggering amount of power through easily manipulated minions. The Cult of Personality has never been as strong and as pervasive as it is today in western society.

Living Colour, to this day, is still one of my favorite rock bands of all time. This came out in 1988-89, when most of rock was still dominated by hair metal bands. They had a couple other minor hits, but this was definitely the biggest. HOWEVER, their first two albums especially, are INCREDIBLE! The first album you can listen all the way through-their are no filler songs. I strongly recommend Desperate People, Which Way to America?, and Funny Vibe. You really can't miss on any song on the first two albums!

Beyond an overall incredible song musically and lyrically, that guitar solo is seriously underrated. It is both shredding and melodically fits within the rhythm section behind it. Plus, that shift into a riff near the end of the solo is, as one of the ICP guys once said, "pure mothaf&$#in MAGIC!"
