Supporting Caste
May 20th, 2009 by AndrewThis is not a music blag, but it occasionally pretends to be about social justice, so I’m posting this song from Propagandhi’s newest album on that pretext.
When the credits finally roll
for this, the worst story ever told,
don’t bother sifting through the names
for yours or anyone you know.
Unless they were by chance a shepherd king,
a virgin birth, a resurrection, a messianic prince
or some such childish thing.
You can storm the edit suite
or move to block its theatrical release,
but I think we can safely guarantee
that there will be no revisions to the script
made on behalf of a supporting cast(e).
But mostly, it’s just here because it rocks so fucking hard.

As an aging individual, not really a punk aficionado, with the only exposure courtesy of you and Christopher, I have to agree with your comment. Some of that guitar work is far out, man! I guess the punk milieu is what the protest singers of the late ’50’s and early 60’s were, but, the music is somewhat less melodic and the fucking words don’t fucking scan! Also, except for the odd Phil Ochs song, the opinions and emotions are tad more intense and raw in punk.
