Music and politics are a marriage made in hell if the bantering is too explicit on the records themselves. That's not to say sometimes a song can't have some sort of political resonance on the listener because an issue is brought up by mean of thinly-veiled reference in a song. Fugazi are too explicit and too preachy to start with, plus they focused too much on the negative aspects of things, forgetting to highlight that not exactly everything is shit.
