Black Flag - White Minority

Black Flag. No, not the insecticide... not the jihadi flag either. The punk rock band.

I look at this not as music so much as an anthropological artifact... buried in the sedimentary layers. Thirty-four years ago - a different geological era, almost.

This is (some of) what Jourdan and I were listening to in high school. The rest of you maybe not so much... ;)

I anticipate lots of eye rolling and head scratching; if nothing else the comforting takeaway is that if we are in decline, it's been happening for a long time now. The title of the album which the first song is from is "The Decline of Western Civilization". Gotta say this about their stuff, it does what it says on the tin...
