AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Question I have been a sublime fan for about 7 years and i feel that i understand most of brad's lyrics but there has always been one line i have had questions about. I have never understood the meaning of the line "right kind of love on a Sunday morning" which is in several songs including "caress me down" and "freeway time in la county jail." the meaning is probably simple and not complex but i was just wondering if you could give me your take on it. thanks
Answer Hey Victor, it's been a busy week --
All I can give you is my opinion because there isn't factual evidence about the development of these particular lyrics. I'd suggest that there isn't much of a secret to the lyrics: it's about good sex on a Sunday. If you want to look into the lyrics further, you can know that his mother was very Christian, but Brad rebelled against it. Despite rasta lyrics of Jah this and Jah that, Brad still sang lyrics like "hold church down at the bar" and "Lord have his grilled cheese" (confirmed by Jack Maness to be an inside joke play on the words "Lord have mercy"). He lacked the same respect his mother preached, thus sang about getting laid on Sunday morning, not going to church. Remember the lyrics from Cisco Kid: "My mom's words, seems like yesterday, 'Love Jesus. Don't forget to pray.'"
That's my take...don't take it as law, just add it to your take and divide by two.
