This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''"Roots Radicals"''' is a song by the American [[punk rock]] band [[Rancid (band)|Rancid]]. It was first released as a single in 1994. The song was re-recorded and released as the first single from its third album, ''[[...And Out Come the Wolves]]''. The song reached number 27 on the [[Alternative Songs|''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks]]. The b-side, "I Wanna Riot" was originally featured on the [[Epitaph Records]] compilation ''[[Punk-O-Rama (album)|Punk-O-Rama Vol. 1]]'' (1994), and a slightly different and longer version of "I Wanna Riot" with the [[Stubborn All-Stars]] was later featured on the ''[[Beavis and Butt-head Do America#Soundtrack|Beavis and Butt-head Do America Soundtrack]]'' (1996).

==Track listing==
#"Roots Radicals" – 2:47
#"I Wanna Riot" – 3:06

==Song information==
The song is a tribute to [[Roots reggae]], a subgenre of [[reggae]] music known for political radicalism. Specifically, the band is acknowledging that "the roots, the reggae on my stereo" to which the band listened during their teenage years influenced their later work. The title lyric and the line "you know I'm a radical," refer to the [[Jimmy Cliff]] song "[((AllMusic|class=song|id=t2831212|pure_url=yes)) Roots Radical]", which features the chorus, "I'm a radical, I'm a roots radical". One of the repeated [[Verse (popular music)|verse]]s references [[Desmond Dekker]], one of the most successful roots musicians. The song also draws inspiration from [[Bunny Wailer]]'s "Roots, Radics, Rockers and Reggae" and [[Stiff Little Fingers]] version of that song, "Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae". The "60 bus", which is mentioned in the beginning of the song, refers to a transit route that runs north from downtown [[Campbell, California]] along Winchester Boulevard to [[Santa Clara, California|Santa Clara]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.vta.org/go/routes/60 |title=VTA Route 60 ))</ref>  The "43 bus," referenced in the song, is the defunct AC Transit 43 line which ran from 
El Cerrito Plaza, through [[Albany, California|Albany]], Berkeley and Oakland to the Eastmont section of Oakland.((cn|date=June 2023))

The lines "''All the punk rockers''/''And the moonstompers''" references the [[Symarip]] track [[Skinhead Moonstomp]], and alludes obliquely to the band's extensive [[skinhead]] fanbase.((cn|date=June 2023))

Another line from "Roots Radicals" provided the name for ''[[Give 'Em the Boot]]'', a series of [[Hellcat Records]] compilations albums.
