THE not very political PLAYLIST:
by Bun E. Bread, August 25, 2020
As an American kid raised on Levi’s and Coca-Cola, I grew up with revolution in my blood. It is as much a part of my heritage as apple pie and the Statue of Liberty. Americans are rebels. Bloody red, blinding white, and true blue. We are fighters. Here is a driving soundtrack for the Second American Revolution: a selection of favorites, in no particular order, to which you may feel inclined to fuck shit up and burn shit down. I know I always do.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
