The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril XII

Rancid, "Time Bomb" from …And Out Come the Wolves (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: "Time Bomb" was not on my musical "radar" in 1995 when it was released, nor in 1997 during the Summer of Ska. There is always more to discover about ska, both new bands arriving on the scene & older gems to be unearthed.

As crime rates rise, returning to the bad old days of the 1990s with many major cities setting new records for the number of murders per annum, let us continue to work for peace, remembering that crime—like all sin—destroys the lives of both its victims and the criminals themselves.
"Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac,
Yeah, the boy's a time bomb…"
