A Personal Note From Al Jourgensen For "Cover Up"
The April Fools Day release of “Cover Up” coincides with the launch of Ministry’s final world tour; the CULaTouR which begins on the 25th of March in Spokane, WA.
“‘Under My Thumb’, like The Doors cover ‘Roadhouse Blues’, was about my not understanding the dichotomies involved” says Jourgensen.
“If you listen to the lyrics to ‘Under My Thumb’, it’s the most misogynistic song ever made. I never understood that dichotomy, so I always wanted to tackle it. Same with ‘Roadhouse’ — it’s a blues-based song, yet the lyrics are about driving your car into a wall at full speed, drunk, and not giving a f**k. It’s so much an anarchist anthem, it should’ve been a Sex Pistols song. So, I wanted to approach both tracks with the spirit of the original lyrical intent.”
Since announcing the CULaTouR in late October, additional shows in Spokane, Calgary, Vancouver, Tulsa and Chicago have been added to the routing, with more dates to be announced. You can find these announcements at Ministry’s official web site, and you can also view available ticket’s here.
As Always, Here is A Fix.

Two of my very favorite songs, even with the misogynistic flavor–back then, we fought that constantly.
