Keep in mind this was a small hospital or shall I say slaughterhouse. The hospital also wanted to start doing autopsy’s there as well. So, my first task was cleaning out and organizing the morgue. Prior I cleaned the OR, ER, and other areas as you could imagine. Cleaning up in the same hospital, and I was approached for this vacancy due to as I was told, “blood and guts don’t bother you”. I was making minimum wage at the time, maybe $2.75 per hour? Not a union type position.

What did you do there and did being around a bunch of corpses all the time inform your world view and lyrics in the Nihilistics?īefore the Embalming and my jaunt in the Death Care Industry, I was a hospital morgue attendant. You infamously worked (work?) at a morgue. You know they wanted to induct us to the Long Island Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? Most don’t like or love the Nihilistics, but most like or love to hate the Nihilistics. If you can call that singing? Your readers must listen to and peruse the lyrics of our song “Blacksheep” that kinda says it all. But yes, I am Ron Rancid, singer of the Nihilistics. In reality or shall I say in “Our Reality," hating us is much better than liking us, and its preferred. No one likes us in any way shape or form. Not geographically nor in the family sense. You are Ron Rancid, singer of Long Island’s favorite sons, the Nihilistics, correct? I have spent this so-called life and lifetime trying to acclimate myself to this world. A little talk and a little med balancing. Some people go to rehab, I go to a Psychiatric Center. How am I? How can I possibly be? I am me? Thank you for the mock concern and all, but I guess I am ok? Just getting off a 3-day self-imposed mental tune up. Hey man, how are ya? I’ve got some questions for ya. It’s only rock' n’ roll, as the saying goes. If you can take it, read on dear reader and remember, if you’re not now you never were. I’m not joking, close this page and scroll on elsewhere if you’re feint of heart. If you’re easily offended I recommend that you do not read this interview. He’s a first-generation punk rocker who’s from the school of punk and hardcore that was all about provoking and pissing people off and he hasn’t changed one bit in the last 40 some years. He doesn’t care what you think of him or his band, the Nihilistics, at all. Ron Rancid is the punk rockin’ hardcore hero that we all never knew we needed or deserved, but we got him. Nihilistics Tompkins Square Park, NYC, 2018.
