30 Days of Music: Day 20
Jan. 31st, 2011 12:43 pmA Song I Listen to When I'm Angry
When it comes to angry, pissed off, don't-you-even-fucking-think-about-fucking-trying-to-fuck-with-me-you-fucking-bastard-fuck-face-asshole music, no one -- and I mean no one -- does it better than Black Flag. When I was in high school, this was the music I turned to for solace when things went bad. Even today, when I'm pissed at the world and feel like nothing is going right, Black Flag's "Rise Above," still comes to my rescue. In a way, it's sort of like Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," if Dee Snider were a bald, skinny, shirtless punk who if you saw walking down the street, you'd quickly cross to the other side and then run away from. The world has you down? Feel like everyone's against you? Think you're all alone and no one cares? Rise above.
