Mine would be Max Static and the Dynamics. We would be mostly middle aged liberal arts professors playing 80’s inspired punk (think Bad Religion/Dead Kennedy’s with lots of literary references tossed in).

I just checked my unfollowers and it said that everyone has unfollowed me!
drunk, sitting at an outdoor bar in Ghana at 3 in...
Me: That man was totally naked.
My friend: Yes.
Me: Why was he naked?
My friend: He's crazy. The nerves in his head are wrong.
Me: That's crazy? Man, if I could walk around naked all day and everyone would ignore me, I would.
My friend: ...
My friend: We should go.... Don't finish that beer.
