Have a safe on.

Neologism of the New Year!

(I don't understand why nobody I knew ever played me a copy of Double Nickels on the Dime. I think I might add that to my list, although I'm afraid the singing will be a stumbling block for me. Still, if I'm going to make allowances, they seem like a good group to make allowances for.)

Mike Watt is a big-time cyclist. He got a saddle sore it got infected and he nearly died. Trivia!

Didn't D Boon die on New Year's Eve or Day?
I saw they live just a couple of months before. Incredible.

I saw the Sluts of Trust last weekend, they're like the goth Minutemen. (!)

one year passes...

...because when the mood strikes, it can't be said enough.

Mr. Watt, Mr. Hurley, Mr. D. Boon...

Grazie.

D. Boon died very near watt's b-day which is very near Christmas. Coincidentally almost the same day Joe Cole was murdered and Rollins was almost murdered.

D. Boon's b-day was April 1st.

Yes thank you Minutemen!

ten years pass...

Undetermined where to go
No solutions to our problems
Politicians possess this nation
No answers to our questions
Running in a maze
The masses led by ignorance
Machines called "society"
Politicians say we're free

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 December 2015 07:39 (ten years ago)

Let's say I got a gun in my hand
Six slugs six points of view
Materialism
Let's say I got a book in my hand
Fifty thousand words
Fifty thousand translations
Idealism

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 December 2015 07:40 (ten years ago)

Don't preach their structure, their society
Perverted ideas of reality
And words like freedom, they come an' call
And words like hate, and war, and all that's lost
I can't follow a man on a white horse
Who's in control, they all look to course
Tyranny is the real word
Voices and opinions are never heard
They all work, they're the working mass
They all work for the ruling class
The State relies on the working man
They praise the party and the fatherland
They all reel to the party elite
All enslaved to the Fascists

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 December 2015 07:41 (ten years ago)

Can you really be sure of the Goddamn time of day?
Can you take the dirt from the fist of a foreigner?
Are you going to fight when they call out your number?
Can you toe the line?
Can you repeat what you've been told?
Can you bite the bullet?
Can you see the enemy?
Can you point your finger?
Can you prove your loyalty?

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 4 December 2015 07:42 (ten years ago)

I try to work and I keep thinking of World War III
I try to talk to girls and I keep thinking of World War III
The goddamned six o'clock news makes sure I keep thinking of World War III
I got a mile of numbers and a ton of stats
Of warheads
A billion Chinese with warheads
I don't even worry about crime any more
So many goddamned scared faces
I keep thinking of Russia, of Russia
Paranoid, stuck on overdrive
Paranoid, scared shitless

40 years or so later Horsegirl cover "History Lesson Pt. 2"

Sweet, bought the 7" with that but I haven't gotten around to replacing my turntable.

― papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 27 October 2022 23:02 (three years ago)

Don't think the Minutemen recorded any song from 40 years earlier, but maybe they could have done a nice 1940s jazz or r'n'b cover
