Sonny step right up into the time machine
we'll set the dial for 1983
To the DKs right down in Wilmington
Nightsticks swinging, tear gassed air turns green
In the time machine. Time machine!

We took our lumps and ran between the casualties
Buick full of bloddy rags, and black flag cassettes
I think I liked em better with Dez Cadenza.
Sonny are you still too cool? How did you like your day at school
In the time machine. Time machine

Put you in a time machine, put you in a time
machine see how you do.
Cracker

Cracker is an American rock band formed in 1990 by lead singer David Lowery and guitarist Johnny Hickman. The band's first album Cracker was released in 1992 on Virgin Records; it included the single "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)", which went to #1 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The band's follow-up, the 1993 album Kerosene Hat included the hit songs "Low", "Get Off This", and "Euro-Trash Girl".

Cracker has released nine studio albums and several compilations, collaborations, solo projects and live albums. The band mix influences and sounds from rock, punk, grunge, psychedelia, country, blues and folk.

Send me back to 1983 when Camper van Beethoven was a local band (Santa Cruz) and I was too ignorant to know how cool they were.

Over the course of about 3 months, I went from:
"Who the HELL is 'Cracker'?
to 
"I don't NOT like 'Cracker'
to
"hey! This is 'Cracker!'
to
"Damn...I rather dig 'Cracker'!!"  

Thanks, William. Thanks, RP..... for opening my ears and brain to music I'd NEVER otherwise hear. I've lost count on the "Life Debts via Music" I owe RP.

Hmmm. If this one got a little bit better it could maybe kinda come even close to Drivin' N Cryin' circa mid-80s. Live. However, nothing touches that. Simply nothing. Esp. not Cracker!

Y'know this would normally be SO not my cup of tea, yet it touched me...perhaps reminding me of listening to "roughshod primitive hormonal" rock in my early teens....

I'm surprised no one has posted what this song is actually about and why it sounds (tempo, etc.) the way it does:

Dead Kennedys/D.O.A./Sin 34 - Longshoremen's Memorial Hall, Wilmington, CA 6-24-83
