Sad To See It Go: No

"Don't you listen to a single word   Against rock'n'roll...."- "On The Road"

Three undeniable tracks, the best being the live version of  "On The Road," not to be confused with "Keep Us On The Road" from the debut.  It really lays down the gauntlet.  Someone wants to give you some anti-rock 'n' roll bullshit?  Don't listen! He doesn't advocate murder or hatred or violence of any kind.  Just shut them the fuck out, carry on and enjoy life.

The A-side, "Deaf Forever" is from Orgasmatron. That tour I got to witness after a couple cancelations in Worcester in the mid-80's.  I saw them in the 400 capacity Living Room in Providence.  Not Deaf or Forever, but hearing was damaged in that shoebox lined with arena worthy Marshall stacks.  My personal record for longest show tinnitus: 3 hard days.  Even the simple task of taking a piss would result in a different octave.

"Steal Your Face," a new cut on the No Remorse compilation,  has a beautiful two note bend.  Not the Dead's face to steal.

Damn near perfect.

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
