Man I dig Digable.

I am from Amsterdam and my partner back then was from the US. She introduced me to their first album and we discussed the lyrics. Played it on repeat.

This is how I learned about Thomas and Souter, how I learned about Roe versus Wade. These corrupt fuckers still at it.

Like Butterfly says,

The fascists are some heavy dudes
