The rough melancholy of Social Distortion, sometimes the hurt-angry singing of Mr Jawbreaker added by the "F*** You" attitude of the Beltones.
The Enablers
Enabling is taking responsibility for the destructive behavior of other people so that they do not have to deal with the consequences of their own actions. It is also enabling to pretend that the destructive behavior is not occurring. The alcoholic is much less likely to see the need for sobriety or treatment when family members and friends are enablers.
Here are some examples:
Denying - he/she is not an alcoholic, therefore:
Should be able to control the drinking.
Should be rational.
Drinking with the Alcoholic
Blaming and lecturing.
Feeling superior - treating alcoholic like a child
Taking over responsibilities.
Avoiding problems - keeping the peace, believing lack of conflict makes a good family life.
Minimizing - "It's not that bad," or, "It will be better when...."
Agreeing with rationalization. ("Everyone in our society drinks.")
Avoiding action by tranquilizing feelings with food work, pills.
Protecting and controlling the alcoholic.
Haha, yeah you figured it out that's EXACTLY what I was doing. Heard about the torch while I was in Mexico, stoked. So are you still on Spring Break and are we going to hang out this next week? The 13+ hours to get back kicked my ass so I may rest up over the weekend.
Color me impressed, for sure. I mean, I've dug yer tunes for years--I'm just surprised, nay, alarmed, that you guys had the wherewithal to put together a website. It's usually "Plays awesome songs" or "Performs snazzy web functions," one or the other--if the two aren't kept mutually exclusive, they fight like feral pitbulls.
But keep it up anyway, as it's good to have updates available.
A pal of mine was at a bar down south in the afternoon when the bartender whispered, "Check that out, Charlie Pickett just came in." My pal said, "You're Charlie Pickett, right?" He said, "Yeah, so what?"
