The Hairiest Mixtape

you’re back in the woods with your cousin and a buddy drinkin’ beer out the back of his truck. when along comes buddy’s older brother. he strolls up, grabs a beer and jams a mixtape into the car stereo. the rest of the night is spent in a gradual stupor listening to amazing obscure early seventies rock; bands whose names you haven’t heard since.
