new model army

new model army, was a pretty cool show. we left from the car rental place, pulled over ate some sandwiches and proceeded the show. it was at a small club and low and behold, just across the street, a carnival; with about 5 people there. none of the rides were open, it was just strange. but the concert was cool, new model army has been around since the eighties so there were many generations represented; picture a mix of shelfers dad and bill hogan in a tan turtleneck and slacks (i dont think there are any of you who know both of them) thrashing in the front row and basically starting a mini mosh pit. he and his son were there along with a bunch of english crazies that came from england to see them. They've got this song the 51st state of america:

Look out of your windows, watch the skies
Read all the instructions with bright blue eyes
We're W.A.S.Ps, proud American sons
We know how to clean our teeth and how to strip down a gun

We're the 51st state of America

Our star-spangled Union Jack flutters so proud
Over the dancing heads of the merry patriotic crowd
Tip your hat to the Yankee conqueror
We've got no reds under the bed with guns under our pillows

We're the 51st state of America

Here in the land of opportunity, watch us revel in our liberty
You can say what you like but it doesn't change anything
Because the corridors of power are an ocean away

We're the 51st state of America


i can't say that i really understand it, but hey. im pretty sure its anti-american or anti-capitalist.....you think i gave a fuck, i just kept on rockin'.
