This week's episode takes a deep dive into the rather complicated legacy of the late Chris Warren and The DX Band.  While fellow musical pioneers / brothers of different mothers Complete were ruling Texas and Faxed Head were laying waste to the West Coast, the DX Band aka "The D-Generation X Band" or "the band that plays D-Generation X's entry music" were carving their own path on the Eastern seaboard. Combining the socio-political insight of Rage Against The Machine with the chops of a mid-tier Rage Against The Machine tribute act, the DX Band burned oh so brightly during the late 1990's.  


Sadly, due to the intervention of WWE solicitor Jerry McDeavitt, I'm unable to play any selections from the DX Band's deep oeuvre besides a YouTube rip of the ensemble serenading a capacity arena audience with their rendition of "America The Beautiful".  Much like Marvin Gaye's inspired reading of "The Star Spangled Banner" at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, this performance -- highly polarizing at the time -- is now considered a powerful cultural statement for the times, and rightly so. 

There's some other songs, too.  I mean, I had another two hours to fill.
