The RHCP were another 80's band who became a better 90's band. That song in particular launched riots.

KLEM FM
Back during George Michael's alleged reign over things that went pop, there were other bands happening. If you first liked Nirvana in 1992, you missed a decade of prior art which included: Pere Ubu; The Minutemen; X (and anyone else who appeared in Penelope Spheeris' The Decline Of Western Civilization (1981)); the Meat Puppets (a Cobain favorite), The Replacements, Husker Du, etc., etc.

Freudian Slippage
Overheard at Lem's:

I beg your pardon? This equates Reince/Ransome as the Ego and Bannon/Doniphon as the Id.
Two wrongs in my book.
My understanding of Freud's original construct is:
In that sketch, the "Environment" is the so-called Super-Ego -- the collective do-gooding force...the Church & the Law, etc. The Super-Ego informs the Ego from above; the Id impels the Ego from below.
Another view is the familiar meme:
In that sketch, the devil (Id) and the angel (Super-Ego) inform the Ego.
In the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the Id, the Ego, and the Super Ego of the Old West are portrayed by Liberty Valance, Tom Doniphon, and Ransome Stoddard respectively. Valance is irrational, impulsive, and entirely self-interested; Stoddard personifies The Law and Rules and is the Super-Ego. Tom Doniphon mediates the two forces and is the Ego.
The Ego is often derided as a bad thing: "Oh he's so egotistical." How did modern culture so lose sight of Freud's original intent? The Ego is not the selfish Id, nor is it the selfless Super-Ego.
To circle back and to correct Troop's analogy: Bannon is the bad-boy Id and Reince is the good-boy Super-Ego.
Donald Trump is caught between them; he is The Ego -- but you knew that already.
DBQ if you want to put it in Western Terms then Reince is Ransome Stoddard. Bannon is Tom Doniphon. Only this time he is going to get the girl.
To put it in psychological terms:
Reince is Trump's ego.
Bannon is Trump's id.
Reince is Trump's ego.
Bannon is Trump's id.

'America Must Unite The Whole Civilized World In The Fight Against Islamic Terrorism'
Sam Harris is not on my bucket list of people to meet but I agree with his assessment of Trump vs. Hillary.
Of course, if you're a Trump=Hitler believer, I can see your dilemma.
