that is some stuff right there. people need to write more concept albums and tell crazier stories. i already know about love. let's have albums that involve outer space, which is the future of mankind and other kinds, too.

The outer space theme loomed large during the making of "A Varied Program..." Seriously. At one point, we had a pictirue of Sun Ra haning up in the studio during tracking. Hence the "Sun Ra spaceship sex" lyric.
Like any band, The Public Good is a group of people that forms around music making. This group isn’t limited to the people holding instruments; it embraces all involved. This blog records and riffs on this involvement.
The Public Good’s live shows in and out of the District of Columbia have developed a cult following intrigued by the band's special mix of heart-pounding rock-n-roll, brain-wrenching IQ quizzes, and occasional costume dramas.
John Elderkin (guitar) and Steve Ruppenthal (bass) lead songwriting and vocals, and the band is rounded out on stage by literary genius Sam Esquith on guitar/keyboards/tambourine, and the supremely talented roaming percussionist Chris Garges (Mitch Easter band, etc.) on drums.
