That's a Cold Ass Honkey

This is another one of those blog posts that pretty much writes itself. I heard this song for the first time a week or so ago. Actually, someone told me about it before I heard it. They said it reminded them of yours truly because most of my close friends know I'm a hard core, to the max, balls to the wall, rock-out-with-my-cock-out thrift store junkie. I'm a Lieutenant Colonel in the Salvation Army. I've been hitting thrift stores since I was in high school. Shoes, boots, pants, wool socks, t-shirts, thermal long johns, dress shirts, the coat I'm wearing this winter. All of it bought at thrift stores. I even have a couple pairs of high dollar boxer briefs I bought at a thrift store; they looked BRAND NEW. So anyway, back to the song. I pulled up the video tonight and the first thing I noticed is that the dude is riding a SCOOTER. No, not quite a Footbike, but dang close. And then at one point in the song, he mentions buying a broken keyboard, which I did just this year. Watch video and see support photos. The shirt in the photo of me below (holding the keyboard)....people love that shirt. Pic doesn't do it justice. Strangers approach me to tell me how great that shirt is. And yes, bought at a thrift store just this year. Oh yeah....Brooke Shields poster in the background? I've owned that since the mid nineties. Thrift store find.
