River City Extension - “Standing Outside a Southern Riot”

I remember when I last saw RCE, Joe talked about how he wrote this song after or about (or something) a show they played in Richmond when VCU students rioted over the winning of a basketball game. I was at that show as well, and had to drive through the city at the very beginnings of the riot. Kids were running out in front of my car and I was so scared I was going to hit someone. It feels really cool to know some underlying things about the song. Anyways, I’m glad their new album finally dropped.
