After receiving a few E-mails about cancelled cruise nights, as I have over the last several weeks, because of weather. Who took it upon themselves to say they were cancelled. Are we actually mandated into thinking we need a sanctioned cruise night. Are we just that lazy that we can't make up our own minds about whether to go or not. Do we not have enough common sense to get out of the rain.
As young punks with bad manners and over the top attitudes we collectively never gave a shit about sanctioned cruise nights, we just hung out where we wanted and listened to bad radio and had a blast.
Now we get a burned hot dog or under cooked burger, a soda and some wilted chips for $3.00 and think we are having fun. Root canal anyone?
Mindless prattle from gene pools that run way to shallow are getting paid to play music that we didn't really like when it was new. Break out some Beatles, Stones or even some Led Zeppelin. Perhaps just fire the prick and play the dam radio. Hell, even tuning in bouncing AM Radio waves off the night sky so we could hear Wolfman Jack was better than any Dj we have today.
50/50 tickets used to be about talking your partner riding shotgun into paying half the ticket you just got because he talked you into blowing the doors off the overeducated douche in the Triumph only to be caught by Dudley Dooright who didn't like being woke up when you whizzed by him at 100+mph
We didn't call them cruise nights because we did that every night where ever we wanted. We'd just take over a parking lot or hang out at the corner store or even that greasy spoon you'd get food poisoning at if you could ever get enough money together to actually eat there. Gas was cheap, beer was cheaper and smokes you could steal if your buddy caused a distraction.
Who said we couldn't get there before 4 and had to leave at 8. Who said we needed to pay somebody to play music. Who said we needed to have prizes to give away. Who said we needed to attract a crowd.
We got there when we got there and left when we wanted. We played our own music and usually were asked to turn it down. If you bought some Cracker Jacks you got your dam prize and we were the crowd and cars were the attraction, not this mumbo jumbo that these shallow gene pool surfers are sticking up our asses.
So, WHO SAID?
