Essays on Bad Religion

[En-US]

Hello, fellow random reader. It's been a long time since my last post. I've been really... lazy.

 
So, on October 11th was "the" night. The remarkable rocking band Bad Religion was on tour in South America and I just couldn't miss that opportunity.
Their show took place in Curitiba Master Hall, where lots of different people were gathered, not just the regular rock n' roll fans. After the opening band (Abra Cadáver, I guess) stopped playing, the lights went down and there was this peculiar human being on the corner, alone, playing chess on his phone.

There were also some "kiddos wannabe adults" that had no idea of what the fucking band they were listening to and just kept drinking and messing up with the girls, trying to impress them wearing homo shirts. Other than that, yes, nice people. A lot of energy.

 The group performed really well. No doubts. The Resist Stance, 21st Century, Infected, etc. I just wish they had played more/other songs from The Dissent of Man. There are some really good ones and I missed them as it should have been a tour dedicated to this new album release.
Well, if you do not know these guys yet, you are in serious trouble, since even my father does. How about you check out some of their songs read a bit about them at the same time?

Bad Religion is a punk rock band that formed in Los Angeles in 1979. They are often credited for being involved in the revival of punk rock and inspiring several subsequent punk bands during the late 1980s, as well as influencing a large number of other punk and rock musicians throughout their career. Bad Religion is also particularly known for their use of soaring 3-part vocal harmonies, sophisticated and intellectual lyrics, and political or religious commentary. Their lyrics often relate to matters of social responsibility.

Faith in your partner, your fellow men, your friends, is very important, because without it there's no mutual component to your relationship, and relationships are important. So, faith plays an important role, but faith in people you don't know, faith in religious or political leaders or even people on stages, people who are popular in the public eye, you shouldn't have faith in those people. You should listen to what they have to say and use it.
