Dead Kennedys “Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death”

12″ LP, Alternative Tentacles, 1987

I woulda been 11 when I found out about the song “Too Drunk To Fuck” – from Bob Woodward’s 1984 John Belushi screed, Wired.

“He turned it very loud and began dancing and jumping around the bar. … slam dancing—a punk dance in which people violently crash into each other.”

Yes, I learned about punk rock from a book.
And at the time, I did not believe that any such profane song would be allowed to exist.

“[L]isten to this … They can’t play this record on the radio. This is what’s all wrong with America. This song can’t be played.”
