…Redemption Song playin on the car stereo, …pulled up to a BP pump tonight on the

way home. Mom-Grandma in the car still overreacting about the bitter cold … having

just flown in from Carolina.  I get out, walk around to the passenger side of the car …

and no kidding the inner workings of the gas pump are muted but specifically making

the following sound (intro)…

Bruhhn gyu-gyuh gyuh gyuh gyuh  ruh ruh  kyuh

(hey, please someone improve on this; hundred times n still I can’t get the onomatopoeia)

So I’m pumping gas in 12 degree wind and snow and the beat kicks in in my head …

boom pop ba boom pop … & I’m freakin freezing … pumping … murmuring …

“Good evening sir n madam, I would like to introduce myself  I’m your waiter and your

friend for the evening    my only purpose is to serve and, if I might observe, madam is

looking quite spectacular this evening………”

Uncanny, the things that happen, little things that ask the planet to make sense if for only

one moment……………..

I mean, what the FUCK would life be worth without excellent music n good lovin?
