Songs in Ink (21)

Murder and weather is our only news
And I will refuse!
I will refuse!
I will refuse!

(Pailhead, »I Will Refuse«)

Oh boy, how I loved to dance the pogo to this song!

It was only rarely played, even back around 1990 when the Grundge wave opened the clubs for hard music. – The song starts with quite a long intro, very calm and sombre and giving no clue about what was to come. Some Goths would enter the floor and feel quite at home. And then the sudden explosion of noise and rage, and my friends Philipp and Apo and Rosi and yours truly freaking out and whirling around like dervishes. – Stupid? There are things more stupid, that you can do as a teenager …
