interestingly, Mein Kampf was on the shelves at Reagan High School until October 24 of this year. reason for removal? "aged content/pub date - new edition not needed." wow lol

the only thing about that video is you can tell the casting is not 100% san antonio peeps cuz there would need to be wayyyyy more chicanos stuck in that traffic jam

i remember when REM came to town to film that video in the fall of 1992. i was in 8th grade, and the Express-News ran a little story about it. do you like REM? my mom wanted to know as she handed me the paper in the morning before school. boy did i!

granted l was a kid in the reaganite 80s, at the decadent end of the Cold War…but it was just sort of in the air of the cultural imaginary, everyone said it to everyone

I laugh every time this song plays
