LESSON FROM A RECENT iPOD MISHAP AT A FAMILY BBQ
The Dead Kennedys
Are not really suitable
At family do's.
AMENDED
My first version might suggest that it's the band members' and their presence that's the problem. So here's a better version:
Dead Kennedy songs
Are not really suitable
At family do's.
Let's be honest...
Either/or, my friend -
There's always room for Jello
But not around kids.
After the break-up
A leaf-strewn back yard
Screaming metal from next door
Jello plays with Lard
Jeff Buckley (not Ian Curtis)
Only one album
hundred documentaries
he was not THAT good
