A piece of 80s music nostalgia - Watusi Rodeo

I was driving home from work a short while back, and heard this minor classic on a now non-existent XM new wave station (which before it went under, was, in my opinion, playing too much Duran Duran and Flock of Seagulls, and not enough of stuff like this).



One could also say, remember when MTV played videos by (relatively) underground, critically respected artists? Remember, even when MTV played videos?

And speaking of a blast from the past, my wife, driving my car on another day, discovered this Black Flag classic; she was only six years old when this came out, whereas I was in my late teens



This, though, is for me, the definitive Black Flag song.



One which still holds up, and with a message that still rings rather true.



Henry Rollins - a renaissance man of our time.
