I tried it once, to see what the hype was about. It was...fine. Nothing to get excited about.

I went there once because I was working 80 hour weeks and it was the closest thing around. I pulled up to the drive-through and I guess I didn’t act excited enough about buying their fucking chicken because the kid in the drive through started yelling in a full on meltdown about what a great day he hoped I was having. I know whatever was going on in that little fucker’s head had nothing to do with me, but it was definitely directed that way after I pissed him off with however I ordered my food in my work trance. I tend to actively avoid fast food and drive-throughs, and the whole experience didn’t dissuade me. It was almost psychedelic in its confusion.
These folks I've seen in my community at the pool and in the parks. They brought their chairs out and they're lounging, drinking lite beer, all day. 10AM until fireworks, outside in 90 degree weather. It would kill me.penningtron wrote: Thu Jul 04, 2024 9:51 am I'm not sure what to fear more this 4th: the impending collapse of democracy or the scorching heat advisories covering most of the country.

Sorry, Chicago. Huey left y’all out.
I was living in Arizona when the song was popular. They would play an edited version that had Huey yelling “Phoenix! Tucson!” during the instrumental part at the end of the song. It sounded so half-hearted and imposing, like Huey Lewis had to spend a day yelling towns into a microphone while he’d rather be snorting new drugs and showing his massive hog to adoring groupies. I always wondered what other towns had their own edits.LuciousSandwich wrote: Fri Jul 05, 2024 2:41 pmSometimes I amuse myself (I don't do this out loud) by substituting cities in James Brown's Night Train:Dave N. wrote: Fri Jul 05, 2024 1:04 pm I was just wondering if my current city of residence made the cut on the Huey Lewis song “The Heart of Rock-n-roll”.
