March 26, 2021: Incredibly Strange Music Vol. 2 - Chapter 1: Jello Biafra pt. 33 pg. 42 (Black Psychedelia + Celebrities Gone Wrong)
Things that I'm skipping in this part of the chapter: The section on dirty humor records, the section on cop killing songs, political songs by Nirvana and L7, and a couple other things mentioned here in passing ...just cause I don't feel like it, plus I wan't the main themes to fit within the 2 hour space :)
