Incident at the CVS Columbia Heights
Last night, to my chagrin, I found myself at CVS in Columbia Heights. I absolutely loathe CVS, I avoid it as much as I can, and every time I go in there I have a hellish experience (and I mean any CVS, not just that one). But as I was waiting in line with a can of shaving cream in hand, a disco song came on, that old classic from the 70s, George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby." And with the bass doing its funky thing and the keyboards going, a touch of guitar on top doing kaching-ching, kaching-ching, and the girl at the counter beginning to move her body to the music and giving me a shy smile as she rang me up, it suddenly seemed like the whole store was transformed into another place and time, and everything was good with the world.

Music does wonders!
Did you hook up?
That's the CVS where they the bars of soap under lock and key. Why?
George McCrae is a completely underappreciated gem. "I get lifted", coincidentally, belongs on any compilation of songs to get stoned to.
never underestimate the power of a funky disco riff...
Kinda sounds like the third night of a Nytol intoxication. Evil stuff, I tell you.
