BURNING RECORDS
Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire
They can't get away with this
Tommy and Doug pleaded over the airwaves
Break or burn and ban their music
We aren't playing any of their records
“Vengeance” screamed the KKK
Bonfires organized in the south
A Beatles record nailed to a cross
And then set alight
Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire
I was one of the first there
I stood in disbelief
In the name of God a sermon evolved
On the popularity of Christ
Down in the center of town
People came from miles around
We all watched as records were thrown on the fire
Yeah, we all watched as records were thrown on the fire
On a long-awaited follow-up to "Celebration Rock" Brian King and drummer-vocalist Dave Prowse still have a way of instilling magic with not much more than a few chords and some earnest romanticism. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 27, 2017
A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022
Big, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 12, 2020
