And there wasn't anything such as police brutality in the 70's? Or in London where this album was recorded? I think there might be a tiny bit of a difference between the culture in the UK in 1972 and New Orleans in 2004 when he was shot. I have a feeling that chasing after the dude that stole his woman's purse might not have been his smartest move either. |

Don't wanna get myself shot down
By some trigger happy policeman,
Gotta keep a hold on my sanity
I'm a twentieth century man but I don't wanna die here.
Ray could have used a policeman when that gutterpunk in New Orleans shot him. Revisionist history always dreams of the "good old days" that never were. Great song, tho'.

This is one of my all-time favorites by the Kinks. Such snarky-yet-truthful lyrics, and some really great instrumental stuff going on. I also like "Massive Reductions, " but this one will invariably make me tap my foot, grin, and then double-take and think, "Whaaaa?!"  |

MH is the best album of the Kinks. With a better production it would have become a real classic one

Great song, and poignant is right. I'd like to hear The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again after this: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

My boy just came in and said "So dad is this like Can then, sounds a bit like them?"
At the time he had a point and I was proud
Now the 70's groove is there and I'm not so sure.
At least he's got Can on his iPod eh?

The Kinks came on the scene about the same time as the Stones and the Beatles. 20th Century Man is really from the middle/end of their career. Still an awesome song that has stood up well over time (no pun intended)!  |
