i’m humming along at work to Sublime…. what an awesome group. they manage to hit some pretty hard-hitting topics in some pretty funky tunes. Date Rape is both a hilarious, and serious song. anyway, right now, my favourite Sublime tune is probably April 29, 1992 - a song about the LA riots that happened after the Rodney King beatings.

it pushed me to go onto Google and read some more info about it…found a great article published by the Los Angeles Times and hosted at LAFire. it gives a really good breakdown of the timeline of the events that happened during one of America’s craziest riots (in modern history, anyway).
