Steady Diet of Nothing is the second full-length album by Fugazi, released in July, 1991. The title 'Steady Diet of Nothing' taken from a quote by the late American stand-up comedian Bill Hicks. The albums overall feel is more overtly political than any other record Fugazi has released. This is most evident on "Dear Justice Letter" which was inspired by the loss of Supreme Court liberal stalwart William J. Brennan. Ian had also dedicated "KYEO" to Rodney King during the 'Steady Diet' tour. Six months before the release, Dischord had pre-orders of over 160,000 for the album. less
