After a long hiatus, my alter ego Noble Barrister has re-emerged - jolted into action by the intensity of 2020 and the urgency of the election - to write and record the rock song “Enough!”  May the song, and the cathartic scream of five simultaneous electric guitar solos towards the end of the track, be of benefit to all!
Many thanks to Noah Cole (drums and mixing) and Liz Muther (chorus backing vocals).
(In the late 1970s, early ‘80s, Noble Barrister and the Absolutes gigged regularly in the Bay Area punk/new wave scene at venues such as the Mabuhay Gardens and Berkeley Square, among others.)
