On occasion, celebrating the midweek hump with a meticulously curated selection of the most disrespectful, impolite, disgraceful, badass, head-banging, disturbing, irreverent, rebellious, most enjoyable rock n roll of its time feels like a perfectly responsible thing to do, for some reason. Or no reason at all. Crank it up!
Trigger Warning: Bad words, rebellious thoughts ahead. Go here if you don’t like it.
Inspections and spot checks in China. Not to be outdone, the Taliban ban public music.

Now that’s a harsh music critic.
if you sob s had a sense of decency you would only listen to taliban folkies 4 a day–
“where have all the young girls gone,
back in hiding cause the tally won,
why have all the young goats run,
cause tally boys be lookin 4 fun.”
your turn–
” God money, I’ll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don’t want everything he wants it all
No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take that away from me
No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take that away from me
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve
God money’s not looking for the cure
God money’s not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money, let’s go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money’s not one to choose “
Sleeping with the Enemy – Roger Hodgeson
” Had a dream
I was born
Took me naked in the eye of the storm
And now it’s standing right in front of me
What’s it gonna do to me?
Who knows?
Had a dream
It was time
To be taken to the front of a line
Well, that is not a place you want to be
Sleeping with the enemy
You know
I don’t care
What the future brings
Give a damn
About anything
I’d be fine
If they’d only leave me alone
But it’s time
Gotta take a stance
‘Cause I won’t
Get a second chance
And I know
Now I have to make it alone
Had a dream
It was war
And they couldn’t tell me what it was for
But it was something they could lie about
Something we could die about
You know
Anytime
Anyplace
When you look that man in the face
Well, it is not a face you want to see
Sleeping with the enemy
You know “
Yes, I had listened to it in the day and have the album somewhere. I actually read the lyrics a few weeks ago when the song popped into my head. very fitting for this era though the song is probably 35 yrs ago. Who’d a thunk it?
Gotta love Georgia Satellites.
Good selection, nice mix.
The Taliban executes anyone who plays music. So Rush would be totally safe.
Rush – love ’em or hate ’em, they could play.
They definitely have a lot of wheedelees.
Never speak ill of the deceased. I feel lucky having seen Neil Peart, Tom Petty, Chris Cornell and BB King before they departed this earth. RUSH was one of the best of 100’s of shows I saw over the years at Ottawa Bluesfest.
Nice selection as always, karalan. Keep ’em coming.
Love Godsmack, so thank you for posting, Karalan. I hope the members of the Taliban who killed the musician get itchy bugs in their dicks and hair around it so bad that they want to chop their dicks off, and they do! How many virgins will want them then?
