Shit my uncle did when I was a kid.
He had a cool "attic" bedroom in my grandparents' house.
He had cool psychedelic blacklight posters, a broken pinball machine, and countless reel to reel players that we recorded weird shit on for hours.
He introduced me to drugs and alcohol at a very early age. Pot plants grew in the attic next to a drug identification chart. He also turned me on to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper, Judas Priest...lots of good shit.
He drove me to the bowling alley with my little brother with a murderer in the car once.
He ended up in jail many times. We visited when we were just little shits.
Later in life, he stole money from me, and got me arrested for forcibly taking it back.
He taught me that it was ok to go into a record store and buy an album even if you didn't know who the band was or what kind of music was on it. Once, we paid $2.99 for an album with a big rooster head on both sides. In small writing, it said "Ambergris!" on the cover, on the back it said "Ambergris?" ....it was awful, so we put the flying lizards on. Still, a "cock" album can't be all that bad for the artwork alone. Hence, my good pal Kellyanne's tattoos on both arms. She's a talent at koolass.
I have no plans this weekend...where will the Chicago night take meh?
