I never post on late-night TV appearances, but today is an exception, and it should be. Long-running SoCal punk band Social Distortion made its first national TV appearance in its estimable 30-year-history when Mike Ness and company played “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday night. Mind-boggling, really, for a band that has had radio hits, a national following and routinely sells out multiple shows in big rooms throughout the L.A. area every winter. So, a tip of the cap, and a tip that Social D’s first album in six years, “Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes,” will be out Jan. 18.
