Had the basic short, White-Guy haircut, jeans,plaid flannel shirts, and a '78 Chevy pickup with what my uncle called "the friendly fenders." They wave at everybody goin' down the road . It would later catch on fire, and have the transmission self-destruct , on successive days . ( As I'm beating the 18" flames with my jacket & a wet towel, in a cloud of smoke, some woman stops to say " Do you realize your truck's on fire?" Me : "No shit, really? Maybe that's why my jacket's turning black.";D)<BR/><BR/>Music ?
