Awesome 90's Songs You May Have Forgotten- Sublime "Greatest Hits"



As some of you may or may not know, in precisely eight days I will be heading to Sin City and the Golden State for a much needed vacation. When I tell you that this trip is literally the only thing that's crossed my mind since the Giants won the Super Bowl, I'm not lying. Sure, Linsanity was fun, but I've had my eye on the prize ever since I got my vacation days approved from work. But enough about that (I'll have all of next week to go into details on my journey), lets stick to the matter at hand here, the music. Sublime has been one of, if not my favorite band, ever since I first got my hands on their Greatest Hits cd when I was eleven years old vacationing with my aunt in Texas. I don't think my over-the-hair ear phones left my head that entire trip, sans when I was in the water. It was love at first rift.

Since Sublime hails from the LBC, it's only appropriate that I've been showing them massive amounts of love on my ipod iPhone rotation of late, in anticipation of my cross country excursion. For reasons unbeknownst to me, Greatest Hits (the song itself) has always been my favorite Sublime track. I'll never forget being in seventh grade and printing out the lyrics to this song, along with this picture of their name inside a joint. I immediately hung the pieces of paper up on my wall above my bed and I'm pretty sure that by dinner time I had already been grounded. Apparently parents don't like seeing the phrases "I'm too drunk to light the bong" and "I would be up for being down with a ho" hanging over their prepubescent sons bed. Luckily that did nothing but further my obsession with the band, and here I am now over a decade later rocking out to the same tune.

Only difference is now I'm sitting behind a desk :(
