Rock ‘n’ Roll Re-Creation: The Mekons’ Jon Langford

February 14, 2023 RabbitHoleAdmin 00:44:040.00M 0 Comments

In this TMEP classic, Jon Langford taps the deep, dark bowels of punk rock to share his 1979 prediction that U2’s career was “going nowhere”; how Lester Bangs declared the Mekons to be better than REO Speedwagon and Budgie…combined; and about being dissed at the A&M Records Christmas party.

This Spinal Tap Moment swap meet was originally released on November 4, 2021.
