Random Thoughts: Notice the shoes….

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Way back in the old days, I was part of the band that backed up my high school choir’s ‘pop’ group.  The band was called Origin and one of the guitar players recently dug up a picture of us from Prom in 1983.  Yeah, this was the same prom where the administrators let us play ‘Cocaine,’ but wouldn’t let us sing ‘Cocaine.’  So as a giant middle finger to said administrators, we played our 20 minute blues-jam version of it.  Now, you know the song…imagine it twenty minutes long…with no vocals.  Yeah, exactly.  What the hell were we thinking.

Anyway, enjoy the picture (I’m da one with the drumstix and already trying to work the semi-combover)

Origin 1983

“Does your head get cold when it’s shiny?”

I was stunned silent, Dr Pepper in one hand, donut (I swear it really was a donut) in the other.

“My cousin told me if it’s shiny, it doesn’t get as cold.”

“Hell, if I’d known he had a warrant, I wouldn’t'a been speeding.”
