My Mind Hates My Body, My Body Hates My Soul
First and foremost, I'm a person just like you, who's out of step with the world, who's gonna fight their narrow minds, who's gonna rise above. Among the less important details are that I'm a Floridian, my name's Ken, Kenny, or Kenneth and I've got 17 years of age.
I’m back momentarily.
Yes, yes….yes. Thanks to those who stuck around.

The song, recorded live at the awards show, begins with the band playing the opening chords to “California Über Alles”, one of their more famous songs. After the first few bars, Biafra yells out “Hold it!” and sarcastically tells the audience that they’re becoming a New Wave band because they “need to prove [they’re] adults now”.
The song was written because the band was invited to play at the 1980 Bay Area Music Awards (or Bammies), to play their hit “California Über Alles”. However, they instead wrote this song solely for the show, and were never invited back. Also, this was the only time they ever played the song, despite its popularity.
This song is brilliant, but let me just say that 3:05 -4:15 is some of the greatest rock music I have ever heard.
It’s tragically sad how at one time, selling out was once a thing and now is a totally unrealistic concept now. It’s almost as if this is the swan song of the entire premise of rock music as culture over commodity.
6 People
The six people who have decided that I am no longer worthy of .00001% of their attention will not be held dearly in my heart. You know who you are. Sip my news slowly, or it might scald you. The other 94 people are still cool and stuff.
However, there is an apparent possibility that my blog will remain unconscious and uninteresting, if ever it wasn’t.

Thank you.
Thank you to the 95 people who didn’t ditch my blog due to inactivity. It very well may continue to be inactive for the remainder of my existence, but I’m in the tumblr spirit in….spirit.
