yea, i'm still here, i'm just on aim talking to a suave serial killer

So after I grew up and went to college, I got a job in a record store to help defray the cost of attending a large catholic university.

And there I developed my obessions with The Buzzcocks and The Jam and all kinds of music that required an English accent to sing properly.

My co-worker Patrick perfected this sound and used it to the fullest extent with his band Dead Virgins.

(Patrick, if you are reading this by chance, I lost your email address which is why I never wrote back so please write again)

The Dead Virgins did punk rock at its finest, and I clearly remember the line "How do you get to Waldbaums?" shouted over and over and then one of the band members in a cardboard box, doing a cover of New Order's Tempation.

You know, I had a really good thought here. This post was going somewhere. And now it's all ruined because this song came on the radio and knocked the brain cells right out of me:

(And i always thought he said "like a butcher she was laying there.")

Chevy Van

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
Now she crawled in and took control
She was tired as her mind was draggin'
And I said get some sleep--and dream of rock n roll

Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

Her young face was like that of an angel
And her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road son
Better slow this vehicle down 'cause

'Cause like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt road main street, she walked off in her barefeet
And it's a shame I won't be passin' through again

Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

Yeah like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

All right with me

SHIT! I swear, in the Home Depot parking lot today we saw a somewhat rusted Chevy Van with a bumpersticker which read "Stabbin' Cabin"! We have been howling......
