Public Service Parking Lot
Yesterday I was mildly accosted in the parking lot of the music store by a washed-up rocker in a beat-up leather jacket who was trying to give me an old dirty guitar stand for free. He told me that 20 years ago he, “gave up cocaine for a 69’ Gibson Les Paul”, and now he just “smokes weed every night and plays music instead”. I told him thanks, I don’t need the guitar stand but there are plenty of people in line over there who will probably take it off his hands.
I spent the day ruminating this random interaction and I realized what had happened there. The programmers back at headquarters created this character as some sort of walking public service announcement to make sure players like myself get the message to stay away from the drugs in the game. It all made sense after that.
Freaky Chuck
This week’s track is a jam, yes a jam as if we just sent a guy named Chuck into outer space and had him dance around on Mars for a bit and then he comes back a changed man after getting that out of his system.
Four Track Snack Pack
In line with Freaky Chuck, this snack pack is a bit funkier with a solid finisher from the old days in the form of the great Nat King Cole.
It’ll All Be Over - Supreme Jubilees
Angeline - Allman Brothers Band
Don’t Challenge Me - The Makers
Straighten Up and Fly Right - Nat King Cole
Or listen on YouTube.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and we’ll see you soon 🤠
