Smack Daddy was not nearly as emphatic as I would be. Trumpsters astoundingly believe the crap this guy makes up. The nastiness, the ego-centric bombast, the lies. And now, like the cherry on the top of the cupcake, he kills (to this date, 7/2/2020) 128,000 Americans.
By sheer neglect, by failing to consider the consequences of doing nothing. Obama would be on this virus like a tick on a dog.Leading the response, relying on the scientists. Trump will end up with 200K dead Americans, with only the Mormons, the NRA and the Southern Baptist Convention to remember him fondly - or at least not with an instant gag reflex.
Wow, you might want to lay off the pipe - or maybe join Hunter in his 'base'ment.
LLRP!!

Downpressor man, a man-ny man-ny man.
Stuck on O'Connor's version...her anger and angst are irresistible.
Agreed. One of the few times the cover is the better version. This is alright, but O'Connor's version is the better.
Sinead's cover is great, and while I like Tosh's OG version; the lyrics being so very relevant today, it's not my favorite track of his. Stepping Razor and African, on this album as well as Equal Rights are top notch tracks.

That Kool-Aid tastes good, doesn't it?
Corona virus has now Tragically caused 613,000 dead Americans. Mostly because of Trumps inept Presidential term. USA lost 3,000 souls in 9/11. Resulting in the War on Terror. But Trumps actions still see no real consequence?
as of late December 2020, there are 330,000 Americans dead. How different things would be if that a-hole had taken this seriously in January or February.

Compare Trump's SOTU address to Zero's. The former used I, me or my statements approximately 29 times vs well over 100 for the latter. The man loves his country and its people in spite of what you hear on CNN.
And in late December 2020, herr Trump golfs while unemployment benefits expire for 14 million Americans, Covid cases continue to surge, food lines get longer, the eviction moratorium will expire on 12/31 displacing god knows how many people. There was a deal in place for a stimulus package signed off on by Congress and just in need of his signature.
But Trump threw a last minute wrench into the works demanding a $200o check to eligible Americans instead of the $600 all parties had already agreed to, including HIM. This move was strictly to stroke his own ego and show that he still has power. He had little to no involvement in the legislation having checked out once he lost the election.
But yeah, tell us again how he's not self-centered. He's the poster boy for self-centered narcissists.
Bitbanger makes a good point. The Neo-Marxist Allende government was also elected and pushed through horrible policies based on about 33% of the popular vote.
"Putin and Chavez were/are dictators. " No, not at all. Both governments were/are authoritarian but they are not dictatorships.
rdo: Maybe you should do some undergraduate courses in political sociology? Just a suggestion.....
That Allende's policies were horrible is debatable, but the point is often in multi-party democracies it is rare to see more than 35% of the popular vote for any one party. This is the case in smaller European democracies and in some of the "Commonwealth" countries, and to a lesser extent in Asian democracies. The US is a glaring exception for having essentially a two-party system, but whatever. In these other democracies coalitions among parties to gain majorities in the lower houses are very common. So to suggest that a government is somehow illegitimately governing and setting policy when the winning party in the election got "only" 33% of the vote is nonsense. And to say that a government is not a dictatorship but just authoritarian, is kind of missing the point that also neither is a truly functioning democracy. The opposing "parties" in the Russian Duma are bought by the government and are more or less a rubber stamp for Putin's policies. Sure, that's not *exactly* a dictatorship, and not *exactly* accurate, either. But it's not exactly democracy as it's supposed to work -- and does work -- elsewhere. And sure, telling someone to go read a book feels good, but it can always work both ways, especially when you don't know what the other person has already achieved in his life. There are probably books you should read, too, that you haven't ...

Trump did nothing but denigrate the country. Since he wasn't happy he should have left the country like he's telling others too. You're a fool and an idiot if you support Trump in any way.

Yeah, Sinead owns this song. The emotion she injects into it are vital.
Agreed. This is a bit ”loungey”. Sinead’s version has so much edge.

Then hear Tosh's Downpressor Man today on RP. Since I can't remember when. *insert Twilight Zone theme here*

This was version by Peter Tosh was from 1977 not 1997
As a note of caution, let us not forget that Putin, Hitler, Chavez, and Yanukovych all came to power through democratic elections.
Hitler was appointed Chancellor, in what was a fairly democratic government. His peak support among actual voters ran about 34 percent. Nothing to sneeze at. Putin and Chavez came to power under quasi democracies, but both immediately suppressed dissent and opposition of any stature. Putin and Chavez were/are dictators. Yanukovych did everything in his power to end the democracy that elected him, and so was thrown out via revolt, which caused Putin to seize the Crimea.
And in the meantime Europe sleeps, France surrendered, and in the UK they had a parade for the Queen.

This has a funky beat, even for reggae. Not a great song but Tosh had such a sly, alluring voice that he makes his version interesting.
I am less convinced by this version than by the haunted one of 16 Horsepower.

The only variant I've heard on RP, and I've been listening here since the Cretaceous, is Sinead O'Connor's coruscatingly angry version. A search reveals no other versions with the song title "Downpressor Man". Are there, perhaps, "variants" of the song with a different title?
THANKFULLY we don't have the Goldfinger cover....and I wouldn't be surprised if Miley Cyrus did it too. One of the variants might be "Sinner Man" by Nina Simone (and others maybe too....?)
As a general rule, anyone that wants a song played less/removed from RP, etc., I think should have a replacement track in mind.
And I forget who recently suggested a "pay to not play" program; if you dislike a tune enough, cough up some dough and maybe BillG will listen!

Maybe because I don't smoke weed?
![{#Wink} {#Wink}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/smiley-wink.gif)
Actually I DO smoke weed and I prefer Sinead O'Connor's version too....even though I've always hated her I've started to really like some of her songs.
I smoke weed too but I doubt that has anything to do with it. I prefer to listen to my favourite music, razor sharp sober. And I know for a fact that my favourite artists do not work while buzzed.
but Sinead voice is stronger and delivers it better, IMHO
With the bass, in my car, it's a totally different song.
Loved this song for years.

Sinner man is an African American traditional spiritual song. The lyrics describe a sinner attempting to hide from divine justice on Judgement Day. The song has been dated to the turn of the 20th century.
If you make your bed in hell, I will be there, burning,
If you run to the rocks, I will be there - melting,
If you run to the sea, I will be there - boiling
Downpressor Man, tell me, where you gonna fucking run to... all along that day.
I don't care much about who is singing this song, just so long as it is being sung.
Well, it is Earth Day
If you make your bed in hell, I will be there, burning,
If you run to the rocks, I will be there - melting,
If you run to the sea, I will be there - boiling
Downpressor Man, tell me, where you gonna fucking run to... all along that day.

The USA is the supreme example of a Quasi-democracy. A two party system allowing you to vote for the same 'politics' and nothing else. Thus your arguments are invalid.

Have heard Sinead's version a few times now and loved it. I didnt know it was a cover until now. Peter Tosh is very different but equally great. I'll be singing this over and over ... in both styles
THE SEA WILL BE BOILING!

True enough. However flawed or quasi the processes, these examples show why Madison was as concerned of the tyranny of the demos as he was of that of kings or warlords.

ohhh....have not heard her version, going to have to check that out. Pulling up Spotify...
I'd second that. This is a fine song with fine lyrics, but you really need to express the anger of the oppressed against the Downpressor Man to really make it stir the blood, which is surely what it's for. 7 from the Nottingham jury for the original, 9 for yer woman O'Connor's version.
