While I was driving down to Kingston last night to meet a friend, I was impatiently scanning radio stations looking to hear something that wasn't some nonsense about how I'll "only miss the sun when it starts to rain." When I landed on Pink Floyd's Money, I hit the button to stop scanning and turned … Continue reading Calling bullsh*t
