I recently came across a new classic rock station1<\/a><\/sup> that has a \u201cTwelve O\u2019Clock Double Shot\u201d lunch show. Which is great, because I pick up L.\u00a0at 1:00 so while I\u2019m sitting in line waiting for the kids to come out, I get to listen to the last few minutes of the program.<\/p>\n

One day last week I lucked into a Motley Cr\u00fce block. It was a gorgeous day, so the windows were down. I may have turned the radio up just a hair louder than appropriate for a preschool pick-up line. And I may have been playing air drums a little too demonstrably. But it was \u201cGirls, Girls, Girls,\u201d what the hell was I supposed to do? Just sit there? I think not.<\/p>\n

I was snapped out of my reverie when I noticed Father T. walking by. I casually reached up, reduced the volume, and gave him a friendly nod. Fortunately, he was engaged in conversation with someone, so if he heard the Cr\u00fce, he did not give me any looks about it. Later I remembered that this was the same priest who quoted the Rolling Stones at L’s\u00a0baptism,2<\/a><\/sup> so while the Cr\u00fce might be a little heavy for his tastes, he has an appreciation for good music. I bet he not only heard the music, but he was also playing a little mental air guitar, too.<\/p>\n
