Halloween Countdown: October 15 - American nightmare

Pick at the scab of American society and you will reap a rich harvest of pus blooms.

Forget ghosts and ghoulies and the other assorted things that go bump in the night, true horror wears a human face and resides much, much closer to home.

Dead Kennedys - Saturday Night Holocaust (from the b-side of 1982's "Halloween" 7"; collected on Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death, 1987) - Every day, in every way, the world lurches a step or two closer towards the nightmare world Jello Biafra envisioned.

At least we're making progress on something...
