An amazing assembly of poets, punkers, industrial wastelanders and psychopaths.  The best cut by far is Anton LaVey reading Book IV with authority.  Lawrence Ferlinghetti delivers The Lords Prayer right before.   Ginsberg does a couple on the other side.  Words to live by in this complicated world of ours.  Charlie Manson delivers a lo-fi hippie dippie anthem I think from prison.

The "kids" of the 80's have their say: Hard Hank Rollins, Jello and Lydia Lunch observe the world in the way you would expect them to. Rollins observation of project architecture as prison stuck.  Whipping Boy led by America's greatest columnist, Eugene Robinson, close with industrial as Jello does a version of his "Alien Orders" which made his spoken word album without adornment.  

American free thinkers, leaders all.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
