Sonic Overload 9/13/10

The anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is always a solemn occasion. I don’t need to tell you that. On this show, as I’ve done every year around the anniversary of the attacks, there’s commentary and various songs and audio clips to make my point. And I’d be lying if I said I don’t get a charge out of hearing, for example, World Burns To Death ranting against so-called punks who start lining up in support of the uber-patriotism that followed those attacks. Supporting what punks in the 80s protested against. I was disgusted in ’01 and don’t like it any better now.

In addition, tribute is paid to Raybeez from War Zone, who died on 9/11/97 and there’s the annual (middle finger) salute to Hank Williams, Jr. and his insufferable musical “contribution” to Monday Night Football. I just put on the TV for the game and I’ve got the remote at the ready to hit the mute button once I see his ugly face. His politics are quite ugly, as well, but we’ll leave that alone for now.

It’s a longer show this week—nearly 2 ¼ hours. Lots of ground to cover...

As always, the 9/11 show is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Jane Simpkin...
