And he would drink, and he was the bass player.
And the fraternity guys already hated us.
You know, because we weren't really any good anyway.
So Dave's playing, and he's going along really good.
And he was putting on a show, and he leaned back and, man overboard!
And they had to stop him fishing.
So I got so fucking mad at him.
That he said, I said, Dave, I'm going to quit.
I'm done with this crap.
And then Dave said, no, John, give us one more chance.
And then the drummer quit because he went to medical school.
And then the guitar player was still in high school.
And he was my mom and dad's paper boys.
And so Dave said, John, let me put the band back together.
