Indestructible

So here I am, sitting in front of my computer late at night. What am I doing? Basically the same thing as every night...nothing until I bore myself to bed. Anyways, I was watching some old school Nardwuar interviews.

If you don't know who Nardwuar is...the GTFO!

As I was saying, when I stopped watching, cranked up the iPod to some old Rancid tunes. Then I got this idea about Rancid and the way how Nardwuar always finds connection to things. Not following?? It's okay...I'll show ya.

One of my favourite bands to listen to right now is...
EAGLES OF DEATH METAL

and

one half of EoDM is...
JOSH HOMMES

who is married to...
BRODY DALLE

who was married to...
TIM ARMSTRONG

of...
RANCID

and here's a little reversal

Sometime after Tim and Brody finalized their divorce, word on the street was Brody cheated on Tim with Josh. Which resulted in this following masterpiece.

Don't worry about me, I'm gonna make it alright
Got my enemies crossed out in my sight
I take a bad situation gonna make it right
In the shadows of darkness I stand in the light

You see it's our style to keep it true
I've had a bad year, a lot to go through
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend

It takes disaster to learn a lesson
You're gonna make it through the darkest night
Some people betray one and cause treason
We're gonna make everything alright

Well the worst of times, now, they don't phase me
Even if I look and act really crazy
I went way down, she betrayed me
Now my vision is no longer hazy

I'm very lucky to have my crew
They stood by me when she flew
I've been knocked out, beat down, black and blue
She's not the one coming back for you
She's not the one coming back for you

If I fall back down, you're gonna help me back up again
If I fall back down, you're gonna be my friend

This song was written by Tim after his divorce from Brody, which is technically a big Fuck You to Brody and Josh. Also about friendship and the support he had with him through the whole ordeal. It's a really catchy track and by far my favourite Rancid track. This was one of those songs that I could not stop listening to back in the day. Like way way back in High School. There was this one year where to cut it short, was very shitty year for me and this song just stuck. The message was very clear, it made me realize who my real friends were and which were cancers that I needed to cut off from my life. This was a life saver...so I guess thank you for three of my favourite musicians in this world to get in this crazy love triangle, which resulted in this song!
