This weekend, our national listening party, The Vinyl Vault, takes you to 1998 suburban U.S.A. And exposes the dark sides of American life. But today, 27 years later, it's more relevant than ever. Revisit a world where Jerry Springer, Vanilla Ice, and Larry "Bud" Melman are all better known than they oughta be. And hear the stories of pain and hope, as only Dexter Holland can tell them. It's The Offspring's "Americana", in its entirety. Saturday at 6PM in Alberta and BC, Saturday at 9PM in on the Q-Network in the Maritimes, and Sunday at 11PM on the K-Rock network in Newfoundland. And feel free to share your thoughts on the album with JC, below.
