Bedtime for Democracy is the fourth album released by the Dead Kennedys. It is played in the eclectic, individualist style of hardcore (in this case often anarchist) punk. Songs on this album cover such common punk subjects as conformity, Ronald Reagan, the military, and even criticizing their own punk movement. The title of the album is a reference to the 1951 comedy film, Bedtime for Bonzo starring Ronald Reagan.
This album is the pinnacle of the DKs creative expression. Tight, fast-paced performances are highlighted, and the lyrics on this record put Jello Biafra among the elite of lyrical genius alongside the likes of Roger Waters, Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Ian Anderson, Neil Peart. This is the best example of what real hardcore punk is about.
The incredible swirling of government vultures, the obscenity lawsuit, a hardcore scene becoming increasingly violent and personal/professional drama would have been a toxic brew for most bands, but the Dead Kennedys let loose one last time with massive doses of societal satire ("Hop With the Jet Set," "Shrink"), powerful political pontifications ("Rambozo the Clown," "Potshot Heard 'Round the World") and pointed commentary on the shallowness of pop culture ("Dear Abby," "Macho Insecurity," "D.M.S.O.") that artfully scream defiance over 21 tracks that show an evolving musical growth even as the lights faded out before the album was released in November 1986.
Dead Kennedys - Chickenshit Conformist
My favorite DK song and some of my favorite lyrics ever. Dead Kennedys had it right, change takes time. Its not about dressing punk, its about the attitude. An intelligent punk band
