Random but related memory: I once walked into a bar in a working-class borough not too far outside of Philadelphia. It was a Friday afternoon and all the locals were coming in for a beer after a hard week’s work. Lots of flannel and beards. Blues Bros was on the TV behind the bar and we all sat there, me the ousider, swilling our PBR (no, not Pro Bull Riders) and reciting all the lines from the movie in unison. It was a truly memorable afternoon.
It was the same weekend I got the rental car stuck in a snow bank in the hotel parking lot at 2am with the engine running and the keys locked inside.
In all seriousness, I have often wondered: *is* A a good country key?
