5.29.12 NCOE Music Video + Impacting Radio today!!

I hope nobody took my post offensively--or very seriously. It was in response to irish saying she even loved Adam's farts. I only meant that this is not the place to look for view points from people who aren't a bit biased--me included.

I LOVE ATOP and certainly consider myself a passenger on its crazy train.

Love all the posts about the video-- yay for diversity of opinion. I fall into the "tell me less so I can use my imagination more" camp, but that's just me.

I agree with those who are saying that the oppression isn't an outside threat. Other than the cameras, there really isn't anything overtly menacing. The drones are walking of their own accord, no guns or guards are around. They are eating the pills themselves, not being force-fed. No one is shouting at them to wash that stupid bridge in unison. And that fence that keeps them in looks kind of flimsy and has a big old gap in it, and the white-suited guys look like it'd be pretty easy to kick their asses.

So yes, I think it's a self-imposed imprisonment. Very, very apt for modern society. We put such restrictions on what we do, what we think, what we say. Even what we wear. Let's face it, for many people, the thing that holds us back most is our own fears and ideas of what can and can't be.

The symbolism of color here is very powerful. Adam's eyes have color-- he can see a different possibility.

And now that I think about it, the last scene fits this perfectly-- they all run back inside, even though they are now supposedly free to go anywhere, because that is where change has to happen first.




Oh, and I feel awful for not mentioning this before, but Adam looks FANFUCKINGTASTIC in the video!!!!!!!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnffffffffffff!!!!!!!!!!
