Remembered

It felt good, the car windows were down and the sound was turned up high. Ted Nugent’s guitar chords and shrills exiting his studio Marshall amps brought me back to my late teens. Well, that was before he went gonzo and started writing the same over and over again after the Double Live Gonzo! Album.

Fifteen years later, my ten-year-old son and I would hear a clip from Cat Scratch Fever as we watched a AAA baseball player walked to the plate and dug his cleats in the batter’s box.

twenty more children
gunned down in a school**
politicians unwilling
to let their legacies
be known to the world

** Robb Elementary School on June 3, 2022 in Uvalde, Texas
