Caesar Salad Days is the eleventh ADOLESCENTS album. It is a pre-pandemic product of the pandemic. The songs are written before the pandemic, and were recorded in the middle - somewhere during May of 2022. They are revisits of songs released over the last 35 years. A sampler, of sorts. So these songs go back a few years and came from a number of time periods ranging from 1980 to 2018.
Early on I realized that I didn't have the money to pull off this recording task. We weren't playing shows and so there was no income. What I did have was lots of stuff I could sell using online auction websites. And so I did. I sold like a fool through most of the first couple of pandemic years until I saved enough. It felt good to accomplish that. I then pitched the idea of recording to the band. Everyone was receptive and the pandemic made getting together a gift, so it was agreed that we would make a record. It would be a straightforward run through a selection of songs that have been part of our set over the last few years. This would be the song list for the recording.
