Show Notes

Time's up! No, seriously—let’s jump headfirst into Time's Up, the second album from the legendary New York band Living Colour! This episode is all about the groundbreaking 1990 record that blew my mind as a kid and still holds up today with its powerful mix of rock, funk, metal, jazz, and thought-provoking themes. I share my personal connection to the album, my first experiences hearing it, and why Time's Up was the first rock record to open my eyes to politics, race, and social issues.
