I think for the rest of the day I’m gonna be singing “Got my first real six string, oh at the Five and Dime . . . played it until my fingers bled, it was the summer of ’69”
As the song goes on it turns out someone quit the band, but I can’t recall who.
That last sentence may or may not be a joke intended for an audience of one.
Jimmy quit. Joey got married. Should've known they'd never get far.
