    One of the most influential punks. No crazy hair, no tattoos, no piercings, dressed like a regular guy his age. Punk is in the heart. Passion before fashion. Love you Greg!

      Well, as a wee bit ancient old punk rock fan (i.e. after first contact in '82 and the Big Bad Five turning its ugly face to Yours Truly in slightly less than two years - but the jury's still out on when I'll _really_ be too old), I strongly refuse to acknowledge that Greg Graffin is the last knight of punk rock.
      Because hey, there's a ton of young talents out there who are standing on the shoulders of giants like BR and the like who still deserve to be recongnised because they're doing a good job. So do that! Recognise and appreciate them!
      Or as a band member: Try, fail, try again and fail better (and just for good measure - take a bloody educated guess why and how BR got to be where they are today).
      in addition, pioneers of punk rock like BR will not - and shall not! - ever be forgotten. Because it's always about connecting the old with the new which defines a stable base for progress from which new and interesting things will and shall flourish.
      So... (forgive me the drama, young ones - it was just way too much fun to not yield to it):
      Run, young grasshoppers. Take up and carry the torch, and light as many new fires as you can.
      But never forget where the original flame came from - because then, we'll all be okay and have a good time.
      And last but not least:
      Please do forgive me for writing all this blarney while being almost as drunk as Lord. You're welcome. ;-)
      (And if anyone ever tweets this - may ye hounds of hell gnaw on yer bones for eternity, ye scallywags!)

    Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves

      Absolutely. I know this comment is old, but music is an excellent way to both practice and experience empathy. And as Greg Graffin himself would agree, it spans genres. Whether it's a Jason Isbell's moving "If we were vampires" or it's Strung Out's elogy to Jim cherry in "Swan Dive" or classical (say Rimsky-Korsakov - Scheherazade). One of the most beautiful things I think humans did in the 20th Century was recording the golden record for Voyager. It beautifully reflects the observation that music is how humans consider ourselves being capable of being understood. Whether it's Cat Stevens or Swingin' Utters, it's uniquely and universally human.

    Bad Religion is my favorite punk band. I quickly fell in love with their music as a teenager. At the time, "I want to Conquer the World" was the greatest thing I ever heard. The blazing guitars & powerful lyrics deeply moved me, until The Process of Belief was released with this song. Sorrow has been one of my favorite songs ever since. When I first heard the acoustic version, I felt a brand new love for the same band I've admired for years 🤘🤘🤘

    I'm writing a story about a young guy (15 or so) who falls in love with an older woman (early 20s). He's a bit of a punk and a skater, in short, nothing like me. I was doing some research on punk music and when I stumbled upon Bad Religion I thought, "This is great! This is exactly the kind of thing he would listen to". He dies at the end, and I'm now writing in that his friend plays this version of Sorrow as a tribute at his funeral.
    Fucking amazing song.

    “Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.” George Carlin
