It's easy for me to fall back into my own self-righteous bullshit, occasionally I get it blown back in my face making for a painful lesson in humility. I first started listening to The Dead Kennidys when I was 12. Now, many years latter, I have traded in my almost, if not entirely dogmatic punk rock philosophy, for what I fear is a bubblegum coating of it's former self. There was a time when I would scream the lyrics of Holiday in Cambodia to those I saw as ignorient and privileged. "So been to school for a year or two, and you know you seen it all.... playing ethnicky jazz to parade my snazz on your five grand stereo. Braggin' that you know how the niggers feel cold and the slums got so much soul". My big moment of humility comes when I realize how much I am like the fucking people I used to hate. Well, in the words of Jello "It's time to face what you most fear". Anyone wanna join me on a Holiday to Cambodia?
Did you know Jello is a professor?! That blows my mind and makes me wonder why I didn't go to that college
