I’ll never forgive Kid Rock for “All Summer Long”, the times I hear the opening bars and my heart lifts, only to crash when the lyrics start ….

Thank fucking you, Kid Rock !

I didn’t know that song, so I just took a listen. Now my ears need an enema.

My humblest apologies, I should have put a “spoiler” alert on my comment

Ha ha, no worries. Hating Kid Rock is time well spent. Had I known the song before, I would’ve ridiculed it in the piece.

I would've loved to have a pool hall when I was young. In rural small town Wisconsin, we did have a bowling alley with two tables... and we had very little else to do. We got extremely good at pool. By the time I was 15 I realized I could beat drunks coming out of the attached bar and make money. I guarantee, Werewolves of London was playing at times.

Hustling drunks at the age of 15 is cool and hilarious and would make for one hell of a story. If you haven't written about that time yet, I hope you'll consider doing so!

That’s not a bad idea. I haven’t thought about it in years since until I read your article. We thought we were better than we were before we realized they were drunk.

Dude! You have to write this! You already have the opening line:

“We thought we were better than we were before we realized they were drunk.”

It’s going in the list. That is a good line!
