I really dug deep into the poem and its author, John Milton. As I was reading a lot of his political essays I realized that a lot of what ’Satan’ says in Paradise Lost are quotes directly from John Milton’s own mouth. A lot of people thought he was the devil back then. He had a huge problem with the show of opulence from the Church. He thought it was disgusting. His poem is about the failed revolution against the Church of England, which is Satan’s failed revolution on earth. And what’s more incredible or exciting than a failed revolution? - Bert Text The Used 📲(801) 406-7132 https://my.community.com/theused North America Tour 2020 February 7 – Baltimore, MD – Baltimore Soundstage February 9 – Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club February 11 – New York, NY – The Gramercy Theatre February 12 – Philadelphia, PA – Theater of Living Arts February 14 – Atlanta, GA – Terminal West February 15 – Orlando, FL – Beacham Theatre February 18 – Dallas, TX – Gas Monkey February 19 – Austin, TX – Mohawk February 21 – Albuquerque, NM – Sunshine Theater February 22 – Phoenix, AZ – Crescent Ballroom Follow The Used ► Twitter https://twitter.com/wearetheused ► Facebook https://www.facebook.com/theused ► Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theused ► Spotify http://bit.ly/TheUsedSpotify ► Apple Music http://bit.ly/TheUsedAppleMusic Music Video Produced and Directed by Brian Cox Starring Katherine Murphy, Rhoda Pell & Kyle Pacek Co-Producer: Kevin Garcia Director of Photography: Kevin Garcia 1st A.C.: Christian Chavez Key Grip: Rory O’Connell Assistant Grip: Jeff Anderson Gaffer: Kealan O’Connell Production Design: Nathaly Lopez Set Builder: Austin Brucks Set Dresser: Angelique Rousset-johnson Art Dept: Jade James Art Dept: Rob Marquez Hair & Makeup: Sarah Navarrette Asst.
