Guess what? General Adam’s Atoms is now available on the Deluxe edition of New Maps Of Hell! And guess what else? It’s currently in its acoustic form! How cool is that?
So, let me tell you a little bit about the song. It’s called Adam’s Atoms, and it all started with the title. I just thought it sounded really interesting, you know? At first, you might think it’s about Adam from the Bible, and hey, I wouldn’t blame you considering Bad Religion’s history of religious commentary. But actually, it’s way more intellectual and nerdy than that.
I’m actually talking about Adam Smith, the famous economist who influenced Charles Darwin. The song suggests that Adam Smith’s ideas are still relevant today, like his intellectual seeds are still floating around. But here’s the fun part – it can also have a double meaning. If Adam was a real person, then his atoms are still here with us today. I know, it might offend some people, but hey, it’s all in good fun, right?

I’ve been lurking on that site for over 20 years and if you’re into Bad Religion as much as I am, I’m sure you’re familiar. If you are not, go there right now and never come back to this site again. You should, and I totally understand.
