I’ll Take You A’Ridin’ in the Car-Car
I remember seeing an interview with a Brooklyn girl once. It was her birthday and she was talking about how she would go around the way later that night and Brooklyn would “take care” of her. Symbiosis.
I’m not much of a joiner. I don’t like clubs. I don’t like group mentality. I don’t like the assumption that if you like one thing, you must like another, or if you like one thing, you must look a certain way, all that stuff.
At the same time, everytime I go to a good show or see a great band, I get so giddy and happy, and feel like I’m a charter member of the coolest club in the world, and the luckiest girl in it. Punk rock will take care of me.
I don’t have much faith or hope in the populace at large. But most of the time I have hope for punks. I met a girl today. She is super cool and I hope we end up being good friends. She gave me a car.

i too am given hope by punks. especially crusties - well i know your experience with southern crusties, but you have to remember that nordic crusties don’t smell. also i like them, because when you refuse to give them spare change, they give you a quarter or a handrolled cigarette, as in, “take that, then” - anyway, about this girl you met, this is wonderful news. hope you have fun with the new car! why don’t you drive up north? it is lovely this time of year.

I suspect my new car wouldn’t make it up to Dallas, much less your neck of the woods. Thanks for the invite. I’d love to visit, but I think I’ll try travelling by air if I do. And if you come to Austin, I’ll drive you around in my new coupe, and we can sing silly songs and absorb some sunshine.
