Great lyrics!
The entire album Call of the West is really good. Also other stuff he did solo very good as well. Music was so much better then.
Beat me to it. I always remember that lyric, and the singer’s head emerging from the bowl of beans in the video.
No comprendo, just what does he say?
Camouflage is a great song.
He also worked with Stewart Copeland on some tracks.
Social Distortion did the best cover of “Ring of Fire”, ever.
Camouflage and Don’t Fence Me In were awesome!
Sorry, all the songs they mentioned are OK, but the undiscovered masterpiece is “Don’t Spill My Courage.”
“prove to your viewers what a man can lose,
you got the wrath of God and reason confused
Drive, She Said, is another great song.
I thought of him kind of as a new wave Harry Chapin.

especially when you are in the desert listening to it on real mexican radio!
WoV was a fantastic band. They were even good after Stan left. And Stan has remained brilliant throughout. Great music. Nice guy too. Likes to hang out after his shows.
Love social D

The Big Heat is one of my go-to favorite long drive albums
Seven Days in Sammystown beats seven weeks in quarantine, anyone who says otherwise is on the far side of crazy...
Just don’t eat those pop rocks with Coke or you’ll explode.
[saw wall of voodoo back in 1980. They opened for either Adam and the Ants or Gang of Four, can’t remember which. I Had their first ep - the one with Ring of Fire.]
Man, there were so many good bands doing original, totally different stuff back then - it was like the wild west of music
