I have recently discovered for my listening pleasure a band called "Off With Their Heads". I really like them, I like the vocals, and I like the swaggering melodies. I think it's about everything that a punk band should be. Unfortunately, every single song is about being a worthless drug addict, scum fuck, bridge burning washedup junkie.

"I'd rather be in NY shooting heroin again."

Oh, dear!

I assume the lyrical content is all autobiographical, but somehow it feels almost disrespectful in some way. I have a sneaking suspicion that if all of these songs were true stories, the musicians would not be coherent enough to record such good music. Basic conflict of interest.

*edit*

I think the thing that makes me upset is thinking of all those that have had their life shortened in this way, or those that have died in accidents that would love to do anything to have another day of life, and I hate the thought of wasting something that you never get to have again.
