New thread for the old drunk

Things will probably never be back to normal and we will all probably die from Corona but it is nice that things are back to semi-normal. I can once again get free Food truck eats when I am at work. Today it is Kung Pao Shrimp Tacos and fries. Shit is fucking dope AF.
 
I’m day drinking 🥃 nothing like compassionate leave to need to numb the senses!
 
You made me learn something today, in addition to giving me a laugh. I knew Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, and Joey Ramone, but I couldn't place the other guy. So I did a little research...David Johansen of the New York Dolls. I don't think I have ever seen him out of makeup/costume. In searching, I found a great interview with the photographer, Roberta Bayley. While I was not familiar with her name, some of her album cover photos are absolutely iconic.

Great stuff. A lifetime of music history to discuss in this interview. And it is funny, I was thinking today about the original punker. Was it the Kinks and sticking a screwdriver in their amp to get that gnarly sound on You Really Got Me? Or Iggy and the Stooges with I Wanna Be Your Dog? Nope! Roberta was right. It was Little Richard. A gay, black rocknroller from goddamn Macon, GA. There is nobody more original and fucking daring. Plus, he threw thousands of dollars of gold rings in the Australian waters and told his band he was quitting rocknroll because he saw a fireball in the sky. Turns out it was just Sputnik.

A shot of bourbon
Never hurt no one
So I reckon two couldn't do no harm
Well I know my eyes are red
And I'm a little bit underfed
But baby please believe me
That ain't cause for no alarm
