QUOTES: "We can all work together, black, white, young, old, writers, poets, artists, musicians, thinkers, politicians to be one mass of individuals with one common aim - the destruction of criticism immolation of the present white disease and corporate cancer that is killing us before we can challenge - we are conditioned to an oblivious mass, into a catatonic dead life of false desires and created needs...we are force taught to hate, be greedy, cheat and to follow some false dream."
(Patrick Jones)

EXXON
close Globally operating oil company with headquaters in Irving, Texas (in some countries better known as Esso) Probably referred to by the Manics as powerful company which exploits third-world resources.
On Mar. 24, 1989, the "Exxon Valdez" hit a reef near Valdez, Alaska and spilled approximately 10 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound. Clean-up efforts ensued, but much wildlife was killed or endangered as a result of the environmental disaster. (picture: click on it for the full size)

MADONNA
Madonna (Madonna Louise Ciccione, 1958- ) American singer and actress
Her eroticism, determination and provocative concert performances have brought her huge commercial success and made her a pop icon. Her albums include Madonna (1983), Like a Virgin (1984) and Bedtime Stories (1995). Her films include Desperately Seeking Susan (1986) and Evita (1996).

In 1989 Madonna agreed to do three commercials for Pepsi and allowed Pepsi to sponsor her tour for $5 million. Madonna refused to be seen drinking the beverage and was seen holding the can only twice in the first commercial.
Her "Like A Prayer" video struck much controversy by showing her kissing a black saint and dancing provocatively in front of burning crosses. Pepsi canceled the commercial with Madonna but still paid the $5 million.

29-old American guy on the web: "I also have an empty can of Diet Coke that Madonna drank from, right in front of me, then autographed in blue marker, then gave to me! It's from when I met her after the Blond Ambition concert in Worcester, Massachusetts - A night I will NEVER forget!"
