Whogus The Whatsler: For what it's worth, "Would you exchange a walk-on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?" refers to the choice faced by a lot of young men during the Vietnam war, between accepting the draft and going to jail. It's a pretty clear line, really.
Anon: I heard it as "Would you exchange a walk-on part in the world for a lead role in a cage?", and mentioned this in the article.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: For the record, until 1991, records from any year could make the Top 40; the rule was changed because too many old works were taking too many slots. So "Sweet Home Alabama" being Top 40 in 1989 is possible.
