    well about Bukowski, he has some philosophy about giving yourself a break from the world and being alone for a while, and when you finally get back you're supposed to be refreshed/recharged. this supposedly inspired the lyrics to In Hiding, there's another thread that quotes Bukowski explaining it.

    Now as far as the Riot Act cover, I've always interpreted that as being similar to the Metallica song "King Nothing." It's about being the king or president, but when you've let your kingdom/country go to shit, then being the King is not so great, because you've lost all credibility/respect from your people.
