The Liberal Agenda: RIP Taylor Hawkins

I’d like to salute the cultural importance to Gen X of the passing of Foo Fighters Drummer, Taylor Hawkins at the alarmingly young age of 50.

Taylor was found with 10 different substances in his blood stream and had an enlarged heart twice the size it should have been.

What an inspiration.

Generation X were born under the existential threat of nuclear annihilation and our hedonism has left us physically apocalyptic.

Where as the Boomers had their Summer of Love to counter the Cuban Missile Crisis, Gen X got the Summer of Debt as  neoliberalm policies stripped us of the cradle to grave life subsidisation the Boomers were so quick to trade away for mobile phones and Holidays in Phukett.

The Foo Fighters understood the impact of this generational wealth theft by the Boomers and they sang sungs of pain and neglect to a generation smart enough to know they were getting fucked but too dumb to do anything about it.

In the words of the immortal Foo Fighters

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more
Than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still, there’s one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I’m free
Don’t wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I’d rather leave than suffer this

I’ll never be your monkey wrench

  1. Uh uh Martyn, generationalist comments alert! You obviously know enough about the ‘music industry’ to feel entitled to your opinion; Generation X brought it’s share of tech entrepreneurs ready to game the grift even though that slimey Joel Little was born after 1980.
    R.I.P Taylor

  2. Don’t tell me…Covid? I wonder if our Gen-X drug war parliamentarians are tut tutting the recreationals found in Taylor’s system – while pushing the absolute crap out of their pharmaceutical junk!

  3. My advice? stay away from drugs, all drugs and that includes pot which is known as a gateway drug to more harmful substances.

    Really don’t get how people can not see how dangerous even pot is

    • @ XblahblahXblahX
      “Gate way drug..” What a load of crap. That’s creepy nancy ‘just say no’ regan speaking from the grave.
      Drugs are fucking awesome. The problem is they’re also illegal in this pathetic little turd of a country bobbing about in the middle of an ocean of ignorance.
      Decriminalise ALL drugs then accidental over dosing or taking bath salts thinking it’s Ecstasy will help to stop people dying.
      “Really don’t get how people can not see how dangerous even pot is”
      More like; “Really don’t get [it]…” period.
      The most dangerous element of recreational drug taking is ignorant opinions like yours.
      Helpful hint. Before you make a dick of yourself again I’d strongly recommend you read up on Portugal’s drugs policy.

  4. Amene.

    The last concert at Western Springs that I saw.

    Great! Loud! And fuckn enjoyable.

  5. He died from myocarditis caused by the vax jabs. It’s a coverup he died of a drugs overdose. He’d reformed his life on that problem years ago.

    • I think it was a combination of past “lifestyle choices” and rock star nose candy that was far more pure than he was used to. He was in Colombia after all. Hello.

  6. nooo jay11 the shapeshifting lizard space aliens used jewish space lazers to microwave his heart with electromagnetism because he was about to spill the beans on the kennedy assassination….
    if only he’s taken his sheep dewormer and glugged bleach he’d be alive today.

  7. If Gen X cannot make observations about Gen X and our dads being boomers, how can there be political discourse? The man who sold the world is a mystery but I bet he was boomer. Cobain was one of many lost poets and for those of us who survived past 27 we owe it to always remember that our heroes died of overdoses or the CIA and as Jarvis Cocker so elequontly sung in 2006 “cunts are still running the world” ; and he was not being rude to women. Rest in Peace Taylor Hawkins; or in the stars with all the other fallen heroes

  8. the man who sold the world may have been a boomer but you can bet a genXer is flogging the herbal remedy for it on tiktok.
