The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day: SKAfter Party


The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "What the World Needs Now Is Love" via iTunes (from the What the World Needs Now Is Love single) (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: "What the World Needs Now Is Love" was released this March (SKmArch?) as a seven-inch vinyl record. Please, please, please, please let this be the prelude to a new full-length album. This is of course a cover of the classic Burt Bacharach/Hal David song.
"What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of,
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some, but for everyone…"
Of course, the love the worlds needs now is
agape (Wikipedia-link); storge, philia, & eros all have their place, but what the world needs desperately is agape.
