Alright tall Jesus dude hunching over and behind me in line at Starbucks, I realize they are short-staffed and we are waiting too long, but it’s best that you don’t quaveringly half-remember the verse to ‘Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay,’ and yes don’t bother snapping along, because it turns out you still don’t have rhythm, nothing has changed since last you checked.

And then the track changes and it’s Steve Winwood and you’re goddamn RIGHT you just roll with it, let that sublime horn section stun you into silence as we watch the dazed skeleton crew of baristas restock their shelves in a narcotized haze.

And then the track changes and it’s The Eagles’ ‘Take It Easy’ and of course I just fucking lose it.
