Mosey to the front bus loop…

7 men convened for Paul Simon’s 7th studio album. Front to back, a musical masterpiece. In the early 1980s, Simon’s relationship with his former musical partner Art Garfunkel had deteriorated, his marriage to the actress Carrie Fisher had collapsed, and his previous record, Hearts and Bones (1983), had been a commercial failure. And yet…. Mosey around the front of the school, mosey around the road, all the way to the back gate, for some more moseying. Machismo said it was a ‘forgery’ because he came for the electronic beats of Snuff Underground and instead was regaled with South African street music. Moseying continued. In the amphitheater,…

The color of Dealer’s truck is predicted to be the hottest debate topic of Spring 2025. As early mornings in the gloom continue to mask parking lots in darkness it will be hard to verify if his truck is dark grey or the olive green he claims. That was just about everything we discussed during the beatdown because the boys got after it this morning! Six lean and mean HIMs moseyed down to the backside of the football field for warmarama and then a triple check against the snack bar compiled of people’s chair and donkey kicks while the timer…

To the amphitheater to continue the dora. The song ‘Stress’ only amped things up. Audible again back to the club because the acoustics weren’t as good and the song ‘Angel of Death’ came on.…
