Description

In this episode, Exene Cervenka sits in to discuss the writing and recording of X's 1983 fan-favorite single, "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts." She reflects on the eclectic influences that shaped the song, from Ray Manzarek’s unique production approach to the band's distinctive blend of punk rock with other genres. Exene shares how the song features a wide variety of subject matter, from wars around the world to American bands that weren't getting played on the radio, while balancing political and social commentary with personal experiences. The conversation explores the band’s vocal experimentation, the evolution of punk rock, and the significance of embracing serious themes through music.
