Libertarian Rock – May 2019

It is here – my Libertarian Rock May 2019 playlist.

“Why do we let morons rule the world?”  That is the question starting off the playlist this month.  A very good question, asked by my newly discovered favorite band, Freak Kitchen.  A quirky, yet accessible band from Sweden that have been around since the 90s.  Super-heavy guitars and poppy choruses.  Vertigo-inducing guitar solos.

See below for the track list!

Jane’s Addiction • Ritual De Lo Habitual
Taxation is theft, baby.
