Bonus! Song o' the Day: From the SKArchives

Bombskare, "Do All Dogs Go to Heaven?" from The Day the Earth Stood Stupid (Rude Boy Mike Papa Whiskey)

Skammentary: Wayback Machine. "Do All Dogs Go to Heaven?" was my introduction to Bombskare. If I remember correctly, I found the video for "Do All Dogs Go to Heaven?" on the YouTubes.

Why are we highlighting the R.B.D.S.O.T.D. from 30 April 2019 on 10 April 2026? Because, attentive reader, in 2019 SKApril was postponed by my participation in the Exodus 90 exercise, the disciplines of which forbade listening to music. In subsequent years, the disciplines would be amended to permit music that "lifted the heart & mind to God." SKApril IX began on Easter Sunday, 21 April, & continued for thirty days into May. Even if the total prohibition on music had remained, I would not have obeyed it; I learned the bitter lesson in 2019 that ska lifts my heart & my mind. Curse me as a addict if you wish, but I believe man's musical talents are gifts from God meant to raise out minds, hearts, & spirits. I'm a more joyous, more charitable person when I listen to ska.
