Oh boy, more old punk bragging about "back in the day". Is your social security check late or something?

And your unemployment check is certainly on the way, sir.

I had it muted, but that was awesome! Are those real tattoos?

It's a cartoon, man.

mattramone (July 30, 2012)

Just like Social Distortion.

That was really good, loved the video.

RottenBones (July 30, 2012)

I love Social D, but this album was a major let down. The music wasn't terrible but the lyrics sound like a washed up classic rock band throwing in as many cliche's as possible.

Um... when did Mike Ness' life become something worth celebrating?

Mike Ness shot Hank Williams in the head?

rightcliqificus (July 31, 2012)

Yeah. I remember a lot of people being pretty pissed about it at the time.

Pretty good, in a corny way, kinda like their music.
