Positive Snark
Positive Snark
Kevin started this CD after the election of 2016. Dismayed by what he saw in the news both locally and nationally, he decided it was time to lend his voice in support of others who were being targeted by Republicans and the 'Alt-Right'. As some new songs started to take shape, he took a look at other songs he had that fit the narrative of what he was going for. Unfortunately, he found a number of songs that were mean-spirited, snarky, and just not funny. He had changed his viewpoint considerably since those days, so he decided to rewrite those songs. Don't Call Me White (Call me Euro-American) was a whiny white privilege song, now it's Call Me Euro-American and supportive of diversity. Dive Bomber was a sleazy rock song full of incredibly unsubtle sexual innuendo, now it's a song defending science. Other songs like Colorblind and The Laws of Propaganda still resonate 25 years later.
