Dead Kennedys at WUST Radio Music Hall, DC in 1985. Jello Biafra his usual self before launching into “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” — originally released in ‘81, but written in the late 70s. DK influenced some of my fave metal bands, including Napalm Death who covered it in next post ⇩
@CathyReisenwitz I guess: what percent of a population (that is stressed/depressed), are mindfully, thoughtfully choosing “birth control is wrong!”, or just reflexively answering what they think is “safe” or familiar. I.e., would they answer the same way 6 months later… especially this era
@CathyReisenwitz It shouldn’t at all: but there are times that I wonder if these surveys reflect an ephemeral “vibe” that may or may not correlate to an actual shift or trend
in the nytimes interview lindy said she wanted to have a baby and grow old with aham and by the end of adult braces she is the baby to her husband and his gf as they all grow old together in her house, kinda beautiful if you don't think about it
@CathyReisenwitz I may or may not have single co-workers in their 40’s/50’s who have jokingly(?) lamented that they want that. It’s probably stronger in rural/southern areas. But even as they joke about it, they’re cognizant of it.
@CathyReisenwitz More and more I think it’s the disparities that create isolation and dysfunction; not just income and wealth, but media, social development, etc. (not advocating for uniformity - but we should name it and recognize it at least)
