Red Mosquito

I've always liked this song, and felt it was a little underrated. I mean, I guess I understand considering it's on an album with the likes of Go, Animal, Daughter, and RVM (among other strong songs). Anyway, I'm glad it has made it into the live rotation and isn't just relegated as a Daughter tag.

I got a new pair of really nice headphones for work, and they've worked wonders

Song rules. An old PJ song has never felt more fresh to me.

PJ's best political song

Agreed. I think the message being really clear helps a great deal.

Ed was seriously ahead of his time with this one

I hope they tighten this one up good and play it often on the upcoming tour.

yes, i would love that.

It was a real highlight hearing this during the Daughter tag at the 2014 St. Louis show (a few months after the Michael Brown shooting). It had a real old school fire to it.

maybe they could put Josh Kutie-pants to use on some extra percussion and spruce this thing up

I do not see how this is a political song. It is a song of social commentary. Politics have nothing to do with a white asshole that happens to have got himself a job as a cop being a bigoted racist. Some of the most empathetic humans i have met have been in law enforcement as well some of the biggest pricks. I never viewed it as political. WWS is political as is Green Disease. Ed does do great performance on WMA. The song musically blows to me. I have received a negative reaction to my distain for this song. I should explain the lyrics are great, but they should have been paired up with a dark foreboding sound. Musically it is like a hippy burning man stoner trance track. The music could have paired well with a nature theme or something about the passage of time .

Police are a tool of the state. Any discussion of police is, by definition, political.

Yeah TJ that's a pretty dumb take.

Jesus Christ. tree_ has a second account.
