captains dead

i am back after a week of rest and relaxation down in sunny florida. although the first couple o’ days were less than enjoyable, at least weather wise, the whole trip was pretty great. lots of fishing was done, unfortunately not so many fish but i caught enough to keep it exciting. i could probably sit out there for 8 hours and as long as i had some bites here and there, i would be happy.

i think it goes without saying that public enemy is one the most indluential musical acts of at least my/our time - that is to include everything pre greatest misses.? when i speak of public enemy i typically reference nation of millions and fear of a black planet.? this is a bit unfair, me thinks, because as i go through their catalogue i often find myself listening to yo! and apocalpyse more than the other two.? could be that i have listened to them just too damn much, but thats not the point.? both of the latter records are damn fine pieces of work, even if yo! does sound a bit dated.? even so, the makings of things to come is pretty evident and of course lyrically chuck is on point.
