Being moderately annoyed by some very minor problems of the day, I took a break and turned on the radio. Got so disgusted by the Congress, the pseudo-sanctimonious pseudo-religious music and the other bullshite that I asked Alexa to play The Dead Kennedys.
They hold up surprisingly well.
Now I’m waiting to see if Alexa plays “Too Drunk to F*ck”.
And I’m happy to report that, upon direct request, Alexa played it, although when she announced the title, she bleeped out the final word.
A bit of history: When I first picked up my record of it in Bloomfield, back in ‘81, I thought it was odd that Hello Biafra was a baritone and the music seemed inordinately slow for punk rock. Later on, I finally realized it was a 12” single, meant to be played at 45rpm.
One of the few silver linings of the Age of Trump is that much of the 1980s punk that I enjoyed in the 1980s is newly relevant for the 20s. Fear's "Lets Start a War" comes to mind.

You accidentally invented goth.
Also, I read this in December and chuckled and I'm still chuckling at Hello Biafra. Not you, but the concept. I just imagine Jello Biafra sitting down waving at everyone.

Makes you want to start a Dead Kennedys tribute band just to use that name.
