I'm on vacation!

Here's one from Bad Religion, one of the very best punk bands ever. Their hyper-literate lyrics and socially conscious ways certainly don't keep them from rocking your face off. I am a little upset with them this week; their Warped Tour hit Ventura on Saturday, and screwed traffic up royally. Still, it's not their fault their fans are assholes who don't know how to prevent gridlock. I can't wait for their soon-to-be-released new album, New Maps of Hell. This one's from their last album, The Empire Strikes First, a fun little indictment of the news media called "Los Angeles Is Burning."


I love the news crawl:

--Experts say, 'Be afraid of poor people.'
--Panic & Fear Widespread; Retail Up 25%.
--You are not being brainwashed.

"More a question than a curse: how could hell be any worse?"
