Rose Royce - Car Wash

Charli

cool little "title"
I have many complaints about this little freakish town I live in, Santa Cruz mecca
for the weird. One thing I must give it kudos, those free Friday night summer
concerts. I saw Rose Royce last night, band of funk in the 70's, their big hit
was, "Car Wash" and I can't believe I was a teenager back then.

So last night I stood up and dance the funk. Not a bad way to spend a Friday
night.

Though not a freak myself, I was born in Santa Cruz. I love that town and come at least once a year (though I usually try to come more often since it's only 3 hours away).

In spite of that, I have never been there for any of the free concerts...I'll have to try to remedy that soon! :)

But let me tell ya it's better that diggin' a ditch.
