A Trip Down Tobacco Road

So, I'm watching Monday Night Football and it's Colts v. Dolphins. I'm not a Dolphins fan, mind you. I'm actually more of a Colts fan because despite his misshapen head Peyton Manning is the fucking man! And Dallas Clark is H.O.T. Anyway, they're playing in Miami and Miami always reminds me of Nuclear Valdez. When I lived there I got to see them several times at clubs like Tobacco Road and The Stephen Talkhouse. Always a fantastic show and at the end they'd toss in some covers - everything from the Jackson 5 to Elvis Costello & the Attractions. If you know who they are, it's likely because of "Summer," a kickass song from 1989 about Life After Castro. Regardless of your politics, it's a great fucking song. The pic is the cover art of their second album, Dream Another Dream. Very polished and less heavy than the debut, but a great listen nonetheless. After taking most of the 90s off (the second album is from 1991), they returned in 2002 with In a Minute All Could Change, which sounds a lot more like their first record. All three albums are worth seeking out. So, in case you've never heard it, or haven't heard it in 20 years, here ya go.
