The Things He Loved

This Saturday, I went to the Melrose for the first time in my life with Chloe and two of her friends, Wes (her boyfriend) and Harry (a friend).  I can't remember exactly how we got onto the subject other than that we were talking about funk, or things being funky, and also it turns out that Wes is a drummer for a funk band sometimes.

So he told us about this show that he played in a pretty small venue, and the entire time there was some guy dancing alone up near the stage, pretty apparently drunk, but really just having the time of his life.  He continued doing that through the entire show, and after the band stopped and cleaned up, he went out to find them.

Once he did, he just started talking to them -- keep in mind, pretty drunk.  Most of what he did was basically just hyping them up, talking about how great their show was and how much he loved it.  And then towards the end, he said, "Yeah man, you know I just loooove funk." Then he paused as if he was going to say more.  "...and women."  And he paused once more.

"...and my children."

Peace out.
