TMR 25.8: "The USA Is a Dead Nation" [Empire of the Senseless]
Description
Chad doubles down on his love of Kathy Acker while Kaija continues to be unamused, and Brian sits somewhere in the middle. Nevertheless, this leads to a great discussion about revolution, if it felt rebellious reading Acker back in the 90s, forms of oppression (government, the uber-wealthy, language), and how the only escape seems to be by motorcycle or pirate ship.
This week’s music is “Rebel Girl” from Bikini Kill.
Next week we’ll be talking about the final part of Empire of the Senseless—and announcing the next three seasons of TMR . . .
