"Punk's not dead, it just deserves to die when it becomes another stale cartoon." Dead Kennedys was on constant repeat on my walkman or home stereo as a 14-year-old in the late 80's. Every Friday was spent at the tiny all-ages punk club in our east-coast college town. Government Issue, Fugazi, Das Damen, Black Flag, Jello Biafra, even They Might Be Giants came through. Even now, 30 years later, I load up Frankenchrist or any other DK album on YouTube at work and that's my intense-focus music. The music is still strong as hell, Jello's words and delivery are ruthless and scathing and hilarious, and the whole thing just works. I wish there was a DK today. Rage had it. Some Run The Jewels tracks have it, but not quite.
