Been loving your Albert Schweitzer "byline." My version is that it's music that soothes the savage beast within. And my daughter agrees but adds that her savage beast is not within but right on the surface!

Some of the sublime original album:

"sublime"? Did someone just disrespect Sublime??
This SoCal band from LongBeach (originally named the "Juice Bros") had a cult-like regional following while playing ska/reggae/punk/surf-rock.
Sublime's original 1992 release of "40oz. To Freedom" album was an enormously prescient album release, which anticipated the hip-hop's influence on the late-90s' alternative sound, years before DJs, etc… Their "40oz." was said to be "a record born of [those] having nothing to do and nowhere to be." The only album of its era that neared "40oz." big-tent ambitions is the BeastieBoys' "Check Your Head" recorded around the same time in Los Angeles.

Their "Date Rape" song was much misunderstood by the tropes of the era.
Their "BadFish", "What I Got", "Doing Time", and "Wrong Way" were all on SoCal FM radio (KROQ) daily rotation and on every gheto-blaster up and down the beach communities... with surfers, skaters, their babes, and families at picnics alike.
But their "Smoke Two Joints" has been the morning (nightly? daily?) mantra of too many SoCal beach-bums, for far too long! In fact, 91X-FM still plays this song almost every day at 4:20PM.
What their records may have lacked in recording quality (and some may argue; in talent) are easily compensated by the energy they brought to masses.

Some nice video clips, interesting. 1974, before we had tv, but they would not have shown this anyway.
