you, dave, and everyone he knows RSS

i am dave (E-M or L.F or FB). i am known to rock out on occasion, have a vast depth of knowledge about hockey, and am the proud bearer (barely) of a degree in political science. if you enjoy led zeppelin, craig finn, post-modernism, whiskey and good beer, have a nerd-like obsession with logical thought and laugh at things no one else really finds funny, we are probably compatible people and you will probably enjoy the blog.

HOLD STEADY REFERENCE/NAMEDROP SONG #20:

The Sex Pistols - Holidays in the Sun (Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols; 1977, Warner Bros.)

“I’ve been trying to get people to call me Johnny Rotten.” - Knuckles


One more before the deep analysis…

Why the hell is this song not considered among their pantheon (Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen)? Was it because Sid was already in the band when they wrote it? Was it because it wasn’t circulated heavily until the album was released, at which point their mark had already been made? Or was it that the whole Holocaust thing really crossed the line?
