Hey, you know in the middle of Mad when the people start talking and we hear part of the "I Have A Dream" speech by MLK behind the drum track. There is a male voice in the middle who says:

"We always act like we can do anything. And it don't matter what we do...'cause maybe it matters more than we even know"

I know I am paraphrasing, but who says this?? Where is it from? Movie? TV show?

To me, it sounds like Michael J Fox for some reason. Is it him?? If so, where is this sound byte from?? Someone please let me know.

I think Mad is a great song, and in my opinion is better than a lot of the songs on the UYI records (Shot Gun Blues, Right Next Door To Hell, Perfect Crime, and the awful My World). I am not saying that these are bad songs necessarily (Except for My Word), but that Mad is just a better song that these. What do you guys think?

Anyways, I got off track. Can someone please answer my question above?? I apologies if this question has already been asked/discussed. And feel free to comment on anything else I have said as well.

Everybody's acting like we can do anything and it don't matter what we
do. Maybe we gotta be extra careful because maybe it matters more than
we even know..
(Private Eriksson (portrayed by Michael J. Fox), Casualties of War,
1989; written by Daniel Lang)

Speaking of the Madagascar solo, any chance that someone with too much time on their hands could sample all the quotes from their respective DVDs and assemble the backing track for the solo? It'd be handy for the musicians on the board who want to play the song live... Smiley

That would take a long time and a lot of DVD's  rofl On NewGNR.com's message boards, there was a guy who done instrumental versions of 'Madagascar' and 'The Blues', and I think he said he had just that montage of quotes to play against...

I was just listening to "Madagascar", and I noticed that during the vocal montage in the middle, one of the voices sounds like Michael J. Fox.  You know, the guy who's going, "Everybody's acting like we can do anything, and it don't matter what we do...cuz maybe it matters than you even know."  Or something like that.  Does anyone know if that is MJF himself, and if so, what movie are those lines from?

I HATE the sound samples in that song.  Totally unecessary.

Personally I could do without the whole quote section. Maybe it could be shortened. It takes the steam out of the song.

the quotes are good but they spoil the solo.

I like the quotes. That bit of the song is really powerful and moving to me. The strength and tone of the guitar and the inspiring words of MLK really hit the spot.

Who does that solo by the way? I've forgotten.

I wonder if the guitarist listened to those quotes and was inspired to create the solo knowing they would be used. If so, then the quotes are essential because without them, the solo wouldn't exist.
