Note to self

The Bea­t­les’ White Album is a clas­sic that spans the test of time, but it just doesn’t sound the same when you’re 33 and drink­ing ries­ling while check­ing work email, com­pared, say, to when you’re sev­en­teen, lis­ten­ing to it on the boom box in the base­ment of your friend’s house, shar­ing a dime bag and a case of Natty Light with ten of your best National Honor Soci­ety friends while play­ing a massively-creative game of Assh*le, the card game.  Not that I would have any basis for know­ing what a dime bag even is, esteemed mem­ber of the bar that I am.

    I sup­pose you are not going to enlighten me and tell me what a dime bag is? I sup­pose I am of the wrong gen­er­a­tion to know that. Should I be happy about that?

    Natty Light huh? I was more of a Milwakee’s Best gal myself but I can still relate. The Bea­t­les White Album is really great though no mat­ter what you are drinking!

    I always like “Meet The Bea­t­les” best. Though I played them all while house sit­ting for my dad when I was six­teen eat­ing his frozen deserts and raid­ing his liquor cabinet.

    My brother brought the album home, and some­how we ended up with two of them. I might even have one of the orig­i­nal posters somewhere.
