LET’S LYNCH THE LANDLORD
I was first exposed unknowingly to Dead Kennedys when someone scrawled the lyrics to one of their songs, “Let’s Lynch the Landlord” in the basement of the apartment building where our real estate office in Raleigh was located for many years. Until I got my own copy of their 1980 debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables several years later, I didn’t realize where those lyrics came from, but they did seem too professional for just anyone to have come up with.
