Description
Enjoy the progressive sound that combines poignant lyrics with elements of folk rock and calypso Latin jazz. Even Hister Was Handsome is cleverly disguised as a way of denoting how attractive dictators can lead others to hate. The word Hister has a double meaning which could be associated with Adolf Hitler or a nation of men hell-bent on war.

Even Hister had faces that a mother could love And bring their whole world to its knees in grief At the same time, the same time (It’s a mad world, a mad world, a mad world . . . ) Mussolini led a race in Italy from the past Formed of fascism . . . Maniacal to the core Handsome faces at the same time, the same time, the same time (It’s a mad world, a mad world . . . ) But does that give you the right to hate your brother’s color from the start?
