Patient #48273 Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Boxcar Racer "It's not like Boxcar Racer, like a little fast, speedy car," Barker explained. "It was always meant to be three words, and it was just a name of something that means totally nothing, but Tom's political, so he'll tell you it was the bomb used on the Japanese people." That was on punkdisasters, but I know it's from an MTV article. I just can't be bothered to look for it right now. Quote
goochthehooch Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 if someone have the album check the covers and the booklet and he will find the answer! Quote
monkey_boy182 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 why does my poster have 2 words? miss hit the spacebar? or you bought it from some bum on the street after a gig, who aparantly sell official merch Quote
mcpadders Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 i don't totally understand what Tom was trying to say when he called the band 'box car racer', i mean, i understand the origins of the name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockscar) but i don't understand whether he is approving of america's attack on japan (as it ended ww2, and, as some people argue, saved people's lives). Or making a point about the pointlessness of war (as the bockscar plane dropped the 2nd, and generally, unnecessary bomb) Or maybe is it making a comment about mortality, cause it was something that killed so many people. If anyone could shed light on the meaning of the name, that'd be cool. Quote
MFZB-dale-MFZB Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I guess this is the answer whats the point in the bcr site and the blink 182 now Quote
mcpadders Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 no its an official poster well, the way it is written, in the official font, means its not clear whether its supposed to be 2 or 3 words (not that i really matters). Since your poster is official, it will probably be in the official font, which is, in fact, 3 words. Quote
