The kid with the six shooters could be me as a child, never left home without them. I’m still the same today, only difference is, they’re not cap guns.

Hot pants and Daisy Dukes are great on the right ladies. But women today have no shame. When you see 100 lb overweight menopausal women wearing sweat pants they bought at Victoria’s Secret that say “juicy” on their ass you know something is very wrong.

I still have albums I remember buying in Peaches. Sometimes I think of that store when I spin those particular disks. Never been one to leave shrinkwrap on my records so I don’t have the price tags. Where I grew up we had a much larger record store believe it or not and Peaches was a late comer to town, and was sadly gone all too soon. Still had a nice atmosphere I liked.
