Another day, another deadline. Mad Donald, ever projecting, says Iran had better “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” or tomorrow he’ll commit more war crimes by bombing civilian targets.

When “Hammer to Fall” was released in 1984, lots of people thought it was about The Bomb – Cold War tensions were running high at the time – but Brian May said years later that it was about life and death, and that “the Hammer coming down is only a symbol of the Grim Reaper doing his job!” It was released as the fourth single from “The Works,” and though longtime Queen fans welcomed it as a return to the band’s early days of guitar-riff rock, it only made it to No. 13 in the UK and missed Billboard’s Hot 100 completely.
