You went much further than was merited. Take comfort that SAE lasted longer than plenty of greater songs on other albums.

Someday, Doc, you're gonna have to let us know how you really feel about SAE.

I'm envisioning a Lincoln Douglas type debate circuit - but featuring Doc and Heston debating the merits (or lack of merits) about SAE.

I'm actually amazed that the song has taken on a new life in this poll. I've listened to Sandinista! many, many, many times since I was a teenager and it was always one of those tracks that sort of played out in the background for me. I didn't hate it, but it didn't really grab me.

When the album came out i thought SAE was one of it's few redeeming features.

Medulla admits he's only too happy to steal the hubcaps from respected gentlemen.

No, I'm going full Lydon and calling the cops on those guttersnipes.
