Only recently have I been fully oriented into the entire Limp Bizkit phenomenon. Late bloomer, if you want to call it that. I must admit the group’s got some pretty hard-ass lyrics -- ones that whip you right to the core and awaken your senses making you want to bang your head against the wall screaming. And then you dance (jump around, for some).

I’m not talking about the more popular ones like Rollin and Nookie. I’m referring to the underplayed (or not played at all) N2 Together Now and Breakstuff. They’re perfect for anger release. Or if you just need a break from your boring life.

Music is such. It can spin you wild and shatter you mad. When I was in high school, the song that influenced me most was Garbage’s Queer and Cranberries’ Zombie. I wish to return to that time I only worried about which band was more populist, or which ones were more contrived or philosophical.

I wonder whatever happened to Presidents of the United States of America, Silverchair, Jane’s Addiction, Afghan Wigs, the Sex Pistols and Green Day.
