Happy Music Monday! Today in 1789, John Jay became America's first Chief Justice. In his honor today, Scott's picked five songs about what it means to be a judge.
To pass judgment on others is a great responsibility. You have to be confident that you're doing the right thing, while also being fair and weighing all the options. You are the law, but you're also justice.
More to come after the jump.
Geoff Barrow & Ben Salisbury - Lawmaster/Pursuit
This instrumental reflects the hard work facing an officer of the law. Crime doesn't just walk up to you and confess. You've got to work to find the guilty!
The Screaming Blue Messiahs - Mega-City 1
In a city you love, what bigger trust can there be? To be asked to pass judgement on others? Truly the ultimate trust.
Fink Brothers - Mutants In Mega-City One
Mutants are hard to explain, though. They started as criminals, but over the years... well, sometimes the law needs to be updated! Today mutants can stand beside human inside Mega City One, assuming they keep within other laws.
OKAY FINE I ADMIT IT today's Music Monday is actually a tribute to Judge Dredd. But you can pick your own path for the comments. Post songs about judges, the law, the legal system, or even Judge Dread himself. Just do it legally, please. I can't take another round in the iso-cubes.
