Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture josh Average	#1 by josh stagel at Sep 21, 1973 at 7:30 AM EST
	wow, i had NO idea about the drag queen thing. but now that i read all those comments it makes perfect sense! but i also think this song can be interpretted to mean more than just that incident. i see it as referring to all predjudices and intolerance. for some reason the lyirics " Discard this message Throw this bottle back in the ocean Rip this page from the history books Smash all the street signs Erase all the maps Forget my name Forget my face Because it's going to rain And it never ends" bring crystal nacht (the night of broken glass) to mind. for those of you who don't know what that is, it was the night a bunch of germans went and smashed and destroyed every jewish shop and many jewish houses, pretty much symbolizing the start of the holocaust. i know the song has nothing to do with that, but since the lyrics spark that in my mind, it just seems like this song is about ALL predjudices.

No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#2 by Zane Haight at Jan 3, 1982 at 5:24 AM EST
	Since the first time i heard this song, it's been my new favorite song, it's an unbelievable song..and raindyday, i agree w/ you, monsoon is a fuckingretard, but whatever, ignorant people will be among us, we just have to ignore them...took a hell of a lot of them to vote bush into presidency...whatever, the song is great, no one is saying it's not...

No Picture HammerOffFreak Professional	#3 by HammerOffFreak at Nov 15, 1982 at 1:53 AM EST
	when i saw thursday live geoff introduced this song by saying "this one's about feeling alienated." that's all i know about that.

No Picture Jake Wanna Be	#4 by Jake Stewart at Dec 4, 1990 at 10:48 AM EST
	oh yeah, and one of the things that I love about this song is the sense of urgency in his voice and in the words and music. Like he wants to get his message across so badly to save the world... I also think that this song deals with the world in general, not just acceptance.

No Picture Jaime Average	#5 by Jaime at Nov 26, 1991 at 6:59 AM EST
	I really would overall have to agree with forgetmyname because he made a really good point about the word tolerance. I would also like to think that we're a bit more mature than reducing ourselves to mindless caustic remarks on the internet. Besides, what this site is for is to post what we feel about the songs, not the people who listen to them. also, about tolerance, isn't the whole idea that we should tolerate people who have different views than us? Yeah, most of us would agree that this song is awesome, but the sad truth is that we have to accept the people who don't feel that way. All right, enough talk about that, more about the music. I half-listened to this song many times before I actually read the lyrics and made myself sit down and listen to the song. That's when I decided that this song is SO awesome! allright, I sound like a fourteen-year-old when I say crap like that, but it is. My favorite part of this song would have to be the spoken parts, especially the "discard this message, throw this bottle back into the ocean...." and on another subject, I agree with whoever said that this song isn't necessarily about acceptance of gays or minorities. Sometimes I wonder if the meaning of the song is even deeper than the issue of acceptance itself. hmmmm. Leaving us all with something to think about.

No Picture Senour Average	#6 by Senour Dakota at Dec 30, 1997 at 10:11 AM EST
	HAHA, hell ya...One-armed scissor is the shit....

No Picture cody Wanna Be	#8 by cody westermier at Mar 31, 2001 at 6:21 PM EST
	why is everyone calling moonsoon a fool. sentamental is the real jackass here.

No Picture The Mexican Who Average	#9 by The Mexican Who's Living Under Satan's Wing at Sep 1, 2001 at 6:30 AM EST
	This world doesn't have enough tolerance. Americans are that have middle eastern background are harrased and beaten everyday in this country. THIS SONGS RULES! Since the first time I heard this song its been my favorite. Thursday is such a good band. MONSOOONFOOOL! Think about what you're saying before you ever say it again.
