Fishbone was one of the most popular American bands playing ska back in the 80s. They're certainly legends of the genre, although they are probably known more for their eclecticism and unique high-energy blend of funk, metal, soul, punk, reggae, and on and on and on.
They unexpectedly released a new song on Thursday. It is political and timely.
Let me be clear, because I know not everyone is going to like it...I truly want civility in political discourse. I have cult members in my family and don't want to dehumanize anyone. I believe in peace, probably to a fault as judged by most people...as in I believe there is power in peace, and in the cases where there are clearly more powerful forces at work, those are our chances as humans to give peace power. BUT (I know you knew one was coming) I do occasionally need folks around me to be blunt enough to remind me that there's a lot going on in America right now that should not be normalized, and that there are ultimately convictions that matter. In a world where I have been threatened and called a "liberal piece of shit" by a guy standing in my own backyard, I'm obligated to still try and recognize when things are...well, not okay.
Stay safe, everybody.

Alright, let's lighten things up by giving the Rudie a sound from Fishbone. How about the one that might be rudest of all of their rude stuff?
Skankin' to the Beat
This sound gives all friendly creatures within range who dig the rhythm a boost to everything they attempt for the next 3 rounds. When rolling for any skill check, magic check, attack, or save, they roll an extra 1D6 and add the result to the total. Crits/bomb-outs/automatic successes or failures still count as usual.
