I am hiding my head in bad-grammar shame. What I meant to say was, "I don't like the version of Viva Las Vegas that was recorded by Jello Biafra and his band."

I would pay cash money to see a band advertised as such.

Also, there cover is aiight, but it just sounds weak tacked on at the end of the powerhouse that is Fresh Fruit. It would have sounded better as a b-side and winding up on Give Em Convenience.

There version of I Fought the Law is classic, though.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

FAIL.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

Ha! Caught ya! Seriously though, I agree...Fresh Fruit is such an astonishing album, and tacking VLV on the end almost ruined it for me.

Dammit, you got there before I could edit.

Also, it shouldn't be as much of a delight to point out my typos, since I'm not nearly as much of a nazi about these sort of things as Wolter and the Worm (great name for a kids show, by the way).

Addendum: Holy shit, I did it twice? That's weak.
