I legit thought this song was specifically made for Virgin Record Store when it came out. The first time I heard it was in the record store at closing time.
24 years since the release of “Closing Time.” When our lawyer got a rough mix of the song, he called me up and said, “Congratulations Dan! You’ve finally written a song dumb enough to be a hit.” I said, “‘Closing Time’ isn’t dumb! It’s great!” I still think I was right ha ha.
@rava @lacroixcommie An old coworker swore to me that he made a decent bit of extra cash by hitting up garage sales on weekends to buy up any working small appliances he could find and then selling them to pawn shops.
@djsoulsister HR ended up staying with friend of mine in Laplace for a month or so in 2006. Really nice guy, a little odd, but very sweet. He played at least one show at a Fat City club in that time, more reggae and less hardcore.
