Thursdays throwback music of the day: Push is a song by American rock band Matchbox Twenty. It was released in May 1997 as the second single from their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You. After landing Long Day on several rock radio stations paving the way, Push hit the top of the Modern Rock Tracks and became one of the bands most successful singles. CONTROVERSY: When the song came out initially, some feminist groups were outraged and claimed the song was about abusing women, until frontman Rob Thomas explained that the man in the song (either himself or fictional) was the one being abused, either emotionally or physically, by a woman. Thomas expressed his surprise when he had heard that the song might be misinterpreted as misogynistic. He further added that, She [a former girlfriend of Thomass] was an ingredient in the song — but other people have scarred me. I mean, Im not gonna pay my third-grade librarian, who gave me s--- about not returning Green Eggs and Ham. -Wikipidea.org
