Sonic Overload 8/16/10

Hey, it’s the 33rd anniversary of death of the alleged king of rock ‘n roll. But I’m not here to bury, praise or really talk about Elvis except for playing the Forgotten Rebels song. I also didn’t mention the xenophobic frenzy over the building of an Islamic center (the mosque that people are freaking out about is only part of the building) a few blocks away from “ground zero.” Never mind that there’s already a mosque in the vicinity. And you know damned well if it was an evangelical church or orthodox Jewish temple, there wouldn’t be this outrage. There have been attempts to block the building of mosques around the country so it’s not just the excuse that it’s near the site of the attacks. I have real issues with Islam, as with most religions, but this is flat-out ignorance and it’s being perfectly played by the right wing to make those who support the construction of the center being “soft” on terrorism.

So, yeah, no mention of that on the show. One correction, though—while recording, I said I wasn’t sure about the title of the Sacred Shock song. It turns out the title is “Live Or Die.” The lyric sheet is close to illegible and the titles are tough to make out...
