90s at 9 Suicidal Tendencies Change Their Tune

"Send Me Your Money" was Suicidal Tendencies' transition from a punk band into thrash metal.

Suicidal Tendencies released "Send Me Your Money" as a single in 1990 off their fifth studio album Lights...Camera...Revolution! The video was heavily played on MTV's Headbangers Ball which aided in the band's transition from a punk band of the 80s to a thrash metal band of the 90s. 

Though this song was not released until 1990 the band had it as a fixture on set lists since 1985. 

The song is a dig at televangelists and them convincing people that the road to their salvation is paved with money. Televangelists get rich off telling other people they have to buy their way into Heaven and this song calls them out for it.

I'm a Central Wisconsin girl born and raised. I grew up in Port Edwards and participated in cheerleading, basketball, volleyball and softball as well as many clubs like National Honor Society, SADD, yearbook and forensics. I was a very busy high school student and still managed to get good enough grades to go to college at UW-Stevens Point where I was just as busy between working 3 jobs including executive staff positions at the campus alternative rock radio station and volunteering at the campus television station.

After graduation I thought I would take my BA in Mass Communications with emphasis in Broadcasting and Journalism and Minor in Political Science and become a big time reporter in some major city. But instead my internship with our news station here at Midwest Communications turned into a part-time job and opened the door to the morning show co-host position at WDEZ. After 9 1/4 years of fun in the mornings I was promoted to Assistant Brand Manager and moved to The Workday Getaway.

I couldn't deny my love for rock anymore! It was time dive head first into the genre I spent my formative years listening to day in and day out. When the opportunity arose for me to become the Brand Manager for Rock 94.7 and host the morning show I couldn't pass it up.

I'm so happy that I stayed in Central Wisconsin I couldn't imagine raising my three daughters anywhere else.
