valediction

The standard bearers of SoCal’s punk scene for more than five decades promised they’d hang it up with “Smoke & Fiction,” a compelling valediction of an LP released this year.

This record and tour are by no means a last valediction to her music career.

Two posthumous No. 1 albums were a valediction.

“Boom Times” is both a celebration of a prodigious talent and a valediction for a lost soul.

“Born Pink” would be a short, somewhat slight valediction, so let’s hope this is just a turning point.
