Track 2: Steinski & The Mass Media featuring D.J.E.T., "The Motorcade Sped On" (unreleased track)

You know there's been a lot of talk of late in the blog-osphere . . . maybe too much talk. This is not a rebel Song. This song is . . . {recorder Grot leading to Debris Slide as loose tape collects around capstan and eats itself] "White Kr---"!
I grew up in Tallahassee in the San Luis Ridge, where one of the builder/owner's kids—also a classmate—was arrested for burning a cross in the front yard of legendary FAMU head football coach Jake Gaither.

In memoriam Jay Bennett, the I hate Wilco t-shirt design has been removed. For what it's worth, we "hated" Wilco when they removed Jay and seemingly lost their "soul". Best wishes to everybody on this Memorial Day Eve.
