A music-obsessed, retired San Francisco lawyer, and author of the rock & roll memoir Jittery White Guy Music (available on Amazon)... picking a random album or song in his collection every day or so and sharing a few thoughts.
A Bob Mould track off Hüsker Dü's 1985 Flip Your Wig, "Divide And Conquer" is a thunderous, battering-ram guitar riff coupled with a bold proclamation about the splintering of society ("the police state is too busy; the neighborhood's getting out of haaaaaand!"). Mostly, though, it's a three-minute demand--absolute, undeniable demand, with which you must comply--that you test (and exceed) the capacity of your speakers while leaping willy-nilly around the room playing air drums.
