| this wasnt made to spite rollins in any sense. when rollins got asked to go play with black flag he asked ian what he shoudl do and mckaye straight up said "go for it" so rollins sold all his shit for a plane ticket. i think this song has to do with the early years of the band but dont quote me, just read the minor threat chapter of Our Band Could Be Your Life, its good and they talk about the meanings of a handful of minor threat songs. | |

| Growing up is funny. Couple of friends of mine who I've known for like 5-6 years were playing in a band, and did a Minor Threat cover set at a show in some shitty bar on a Sunday afternoon, and we all had hangovers after carousing together after not seeing each other in at least a year. So we don't keep too closely in contact. And these guys aren't really the greatest or even most loyal friends there are. Honestly, they're not even CLOSE friends. But they're friends. Point is- No matter how weak the relationship, I think I will remember the feeling of that stupid weekend from now til the day I die when I hear Minor Threat, cuz I'll picture them playing it. | |

| Yeah, i read that this was about him being pissed off about how the scene was going. Ian had a lot of problems with the DC scene in the initial years afte Minor Threat reformed. Listen to 'Selling Out' | |

| black cow of death messed up on this one a little bit. The actual line is "Mr. Present, go away". I think everyone's felt like that before. You just wish you weren't where you are, if only you could go back in time and fix what went wrong or just hurry into the future so you wouldn't be in that situation any longer. That being said, I think this is my favorite Minor Threat song. I love it. | |

| Ok... so this is my theory on this song.. Henry Rollins and Ian Mackaye were best friends right?(no I'm not actually questioning you, I've read enough stuff on both of them to know). Anyways, so Rollins and Ian grew up together, but didn't do drugs and instead were into music and skateboarding, thus "I'm not talking about staple shit, they wanted something more". They wanted a more positive lifestyle, which just happened to be centered around music. So Rollins and Ian were huge fans of Black Flag, they constantly called the SST hotline trying to find out tour dates and what not and always came to help at shows. Rollins heard that they were having try outs up in New York and so he went and got in. Then he left a couple of days to maybe a week later. Just up and left. I always think this song is resentment and a little bit of spite towards Rollins from Ian for that although they're still good friends. Ian wanted Rollins to stay and play in bands even though Ian was, by then, in MT. | |

| maybe its about ian trying to stay close with the guys in threat, but shit just kept happening and they were getting farther and farther apart. maybe this was written not too long before the tragic break up? "someday something funny happened, and their friendship ceased to be...some day, i'll look back and laugh" maybe all the fun he had as a member of threat, and he'll look back on what a good time it was. | |
