Notes
Uncle Larry takes a ride on “Uncle Rowdy”, a particularly angry terminally pissed off chopped 59 Strat …he never wanted to be chopped, now he lives with a chip on his shoulder and a bad disposition in a lawless western town hiding from the Pinkertons and cheating every man he meets blind


…and in the end, all great songs just become one …

For example …over this I like to sing stuff like
“l’m gonna love you forever and ever, here’s a quarter call someone who cares”
