The 100-proof philosopher

By Jim

A crazy, drunken singer got on the northbound No. 12 at the Safeway on Barbur Boulevard around 10:45 p.m. "I'm a rock star," he crooned. "I got a little crazy last night." His singing was as goofy as the hat he was wearing, a wide-brimmed sun bonnet. He kept on about why cowboys like cowgirls--no real surprise there, it has to do with their thighs.

Then he lets loose with the line: "I feel pain, so I know I'm not dead."

Wow. Heavy. I think he spoke for everybody on the bus that Friday night.
