This was one of the some 150 albums I pulled off the shared server of my dorm freshman year. So of course it sat on my computer untouched while I devoted my energies toward getting into The Shins. Fast forward six years later to the premiere of HBO's John From Cincinnati. I think I tried just as hard to get into this show, wading through all of its cryptic and mysterious bullshit, until I arrived at the final episode in which ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS EXPLAINED. The show was canceled and I am left regretting each of the 10 hours I devoted to it... except for the opening credits of each episode where Johnny Appleseed plays over super 8 footage of California surfing.
This show brought me back to Strummer's album Global A Go-Go, which turned out to be pretty solid. R.I.P Joe.
