April_29,_1992

April 29, 1992 April 29, 1992 April 29,1992 was the onset of 53 deaths, some 10,000 arrests, 2,300 injuries, and more than 1,000 buildings on fire in the city of Los Angeles. Let it burn, wanna let burn. (Sublime) This short quote from this song hit me like a train thundering down its tracks. I was stunned, and I did not know what to think. This song describes the Los Angeles riots not as a catastrophe, but a rude awakening on what life has become. This song is called “April 29, 1992,” and it was written by Sublime in Southern California. Sublime is a small garage band that originated an innovative form of music. I will answer those questions that I immediately thought of when I heard the song. I will also describe the riots, and express what the song means to me. Songs with controversy, riots, and disturbance are the songs that I relish the most. Hearing a song like this just makes people want to hear the song over and over again. The song actually takes place in the riots. True and genuine feelings, flows out of the small band called Sublime.
