Anarchy Evolution


I recently purchase the new book "Anarchy Evolution" by Greg Graffin. I pretty much consider Greg Graffin to be a god, so this was an easy sell on his part. The main concept of the book deals with politics, religion, and science, but it also gives a lot of back story on his band Bad Religion. It's interesting finding out the influences behind some of his songs.

I find that a lot of punk rockers these days are kids who just want to bitch about something that their peers are all talking about so they can act like they stand for something. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE punk rock, but it's nice when a band can back up their lyrics with actual intellect. Greg Graffin has his doctorate degree in Evolutionary Biology and is a professor at UCLA. This dude knows what he is talking about. I have 3 college degrees and I still need to look up some of the words he uses in his lyrics!

Anyways, I'm excited about reading this book and learning more about these areas from someone I trust not to bullshit me.
