Every Day I Pray For The Bomb [1950s cold war/fallout music]

Once thought lost to time, this obscure 1950s song exploring a young man’s dreams of ashes and nuclear fallout to get out of eating his vegetables struck the wrong chord in an America plagued by McCarthyism. Protests erupted in Atlantic City where participants – now known to have been paid in casino vouchers – burned mountains of Dean Franko Jr.’s vinyl records. Franko Jr.’s whereabouts remain unknown after he openly testified against alleged Atlantic City mob bosses in 1958 regarding their role in the disappearance of beloved house band Elroy And The Farmhands. Franko Jr. would enter the witness protection program soon after.
