No One Cares... Pt. II

I've been listening to Propagandhi a lot lately. You should, too. For serious.


They're Canadian if that helps you any. And they're super smart. Pretty much the two things that really matter, right?



Supporting Caste

When the credits finally roll for this, the worst story ever told, don’t bother sifting through the names for yours or anyone you know. Unless they were by chance a shepherd king, a virgin birth, a resurrection, a messianic prince or some such childish thing. You can storm the edit suite or move to block its theatrical release, but I think we can safely guarantee that there will be no revisions to the script made on behalf of a supporting cast(e). Because history exalts only the pornography of force-that of murderers and psychopaths (the rest of us, of course, stricken from the narrative wholesale: a back drop to the tale)-as we, the two-bits, are ushered on and swiftly off this stage with the jawbones of asses. No stirring curtain call for the masses. No floral bouquet. No breaking of legs. No recurring role. No artistic control. And so in these days, in this terminal phase, it’s all left to chance. A piece of advice: if you’re cast on thin ice, you may as well dance. Do what you feel you must, but as for me I was not put upon this earth to subjugate or serve.

Yeah-Propagandhi is pretty rad-some good ol' Fat Wreck Chords stuff. Their song "Homophobes are Just mad because they can't get laid" is pretty awesome. That, and "Right to Choose" are some pretty awesome anti-homophobic songs. I digs them.

Thanks for the post!
