![]() Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols $11.98 There's little that can be said about this album that hasn't been said a million times over the past 32 years. It is the definitive punk album, even if it isn't the best punk album; occasionally the music plods and weighs itself down. Nevertheless, the historical and artistic importance of the record gives it a sense of militaristic power it wouldn't have from the music alone. This time around, "Bodies" was my favorite song. The song is, Christgau nailed it, "anti-abortion, anti-woman, and anti-sex," and I'm at least pro-choice, wholeheartedly pro-woman, and certainly pro-sex. I liked the song so much because I can seperate the bollocks from the music; the dangerousness of the album is that not everyone will be able to do that. The inherent purpose of rebellion is liberation, free and full living, as expressed through countless punk albums--I mean, that's the purpose of all music, I think--and that, true rebellion, should be championed, admired, and acknowledged. But when the purpose of rebellion becomes destruction for the sake of destroying, there's nothing good about it. "Never Mind the Bollocks" is one hell of an album, a heck of an important one, too. Just watch out for people who think the Sex Pistols were on the same mission as the Beats. ![]() No One Here Gets Out Alive $59.98 I would not consider paying over $20.00 or this set. If you can find it cheaper and love the Doors, it is worth a listen. This is not something you would listen to multiple times. I bought mine, listened once, and sold it on ebay(and I love the Doors). Get their collector's dvd for a better value. ![]() University of Tennesse Fight Song Poster - Logo Created Using the Lyrics to "Here's to Old Tennesse" Amazing!!! $13.99 The University of Tennessee Logo Created using school fight song - Here's To Old Tennessee Hundreds of colleges have fight songs, some of which are almost a century old. Fight songs are laden with history; in singing a fight song, fans feel part of a large, time-honored tradition. The fight songs are not the only thing with a rich tradition and history amoungst fans. Every school has a logo that proudly represents the school and its official colors. Logos can be found on everything including stationary, apparel, flags and even ashtrays.
