TromBonus - 60 - In Defense Of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Checkered Past: The Ska'd Cast

Don't be scared by the title! In light of the controversies surrounding Bosstones singer Dicky, Rob makes an impassioned plea to reconsider the scene contributions of the bands legacy. First, Rob and Engineer Joey pick it up with a conversation about he carnival and IMAX movies before doing a shallow dive on the Coles Notes history of MMB from their heavy metal early days to the coining of the term Skacore to their blockbuster success. All the while, Rob plays clips, shares some historical context and champions the real stars of the band from Joe Gittleman to Johnny Vegas to Ben Carr. Let's call it: IDOMMB!
