"1931" is the first record of a trilogy: "Go Out Dancing", which will continue with "Levittown", about the fifties, from drunken Joe McCarthy to the Birth of the Cool to the Kennedy Boys, and "Out In The Rain" which according to Tony, will be all he has to say about the disgraceful state of the world's unfortunates - which of course is just about everybody... "1931" itself deals with the radical right, starting in Weimar Germany in 1923, right through to the Federal Building and including all that fun bunch of nazis, including Tim McVeigh and the militia movement... racewar, indeed! Tony hopes he doesn't pull any punches. Viciously satirical, at times quite lyrical and melodic and at other times some Sick Shit. "If you can SEE it, you're IN it - there's no line dividing the two" is the main theme in this record. What they used to call civic responsibility.... or civil courage.
