Speaking of:
There use to be a little pool/beer/foos ball joint near the SE corner of 13th and 16th. Not too far from our favorite Joe's Deli. We're in there one night (1978 I guess) playing foosball against some randos when a Petty song comes on. Petty hadn't broken big yet. We knew of him but he wasn't Van Halen so he might as well have been Seals & Crofts to us.
So the song starts and the rando says 'Hey, hold on, That's my brother on the radio."
We were like "Cool, now drop the ball".
Don't know if it was his brother but kudos to him for jumping on the Petty train early.

I dont mind so long as the bards and court jesters know their role in society.
Them or us?

I guess it’s both but I put the blame more on us. It’s like the people fawning over the royal family. I’ve go ape **** at my wife’s obsession.
