Well, I drive a Ford but the other part is true: I went to The Levee Friday night. I don’t think I’ve been to any dancing establishment in the past 10 years. I don’t really like crowds, smoke and I suck at dancing. I prefer a place where I can sit back, enjoy my drink and listen to the music to a place with pushing and shoving and creepy-looking people screaming “woo-hoo”. Yes, there were a lot of creepy people at The Levee including some old grandpa-looking guy with the biggest whitest afro I’ve ever seen and some not-so-young women who drunk themselves into thinking they were 21 again. Also I must have missed the dance style change (not that it matters to me) to having one hand in the air with an item you are most proud of i.e. your cellphone, cigarette or a beer. I had a beer in my hand but I was keeping it close to myself, it helped me through the hard times.
The only good part that was worth enduring the crowds, smoke and obnoxious women was the band. I mentioned before that my musical development stopped long time ago and the band played all of my favorite songs including some from Bee Gees and even disgraced Michael Jackson. They were also dressed up properly in the platform shoes, bell-bottoms and afros.One of the guys was wearing the aviator sunglasses. I remembered how much I wanted these, then finally got a a folding pair, and they were so cool. So I am getting me some. Who cares if they are out of fashion. They are still cool. Just look at this guy.
While researching material for this post I found out that the new Rambo movie is coming out soon. Since the last Rambo movie was released in 1988 (I think it was banned in the USSR) a whole generation of wussified Americans grew up without knowing how to single-handedly kick the whole enemy army’s ass. Maybe my new sunglasses will be cool again soon.
