Love this one. Grew up the son of a cowboy. He drank in a lot of places while me and my younger brother played bumper pool if the men were on the big table. We could play the big table if they didn't but we knew how to jimmy the bumper pool table to play free. A nickel a song on a jukebox. All the old country singers. Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow. My God I'm old. Still remember the night a man gave me a dollar and told me to play "Cimarron" for him until the money was gone. He was a very rich gentleman and a nice man sober but hell on wheels drunk. Drove a 4WD Cadillac and carried a little .38 Special snubnose in his vest pocket. 100 miles to the nearest town with a jail of any kind. Same distance to any kind of doctor to stop a bullet hole up except for an old veterinarian who sewed up the Mexican braceros if they got hurt or cut each other up drunk. Lettuce and cabbage crops near there mostly in a place the Feds tried to make a farming community in the desert by drilling wells. Hell yeah. Assheads. One Texas state trooper out there who would arrest you but lock you in a huge corn crib until more state pigs came for you. That was in the 50's. 25 plays for a dollar. My God I hate that song to this day still. Nobody dared tell him no.
Somebody whispered "nursing shortage" and every Tom Dick and Harriet ran out to be a nurse. Now we are absolutely flooded with young bitchy maddening little shits who just want money and care nothing about people.
