July 20 - Youth Against Fascism

Today's song was written in 1992 and released on Sonic Youth's album Dirty, which was their best selling record - and with good reason. The songs are strong throughout but still retains the noise rock edge. Lyrically they are also hitting a ton of high notes with me - from songs about love and loss to more politically charged songs, like today's Youth Against Fascism.

With everything that's been said in the campaign so far, especially the references to Trump's hand size, the lines, "Yes an impotent squirt, sieg heiling jerk" really sound remarkably prescient. The Republican National Convention is well underway, and they are all ready to submit to someone who, as The Huffington Post regularly points out, regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

We need more people against fascism, but we'll start with the Sonic Youth...
