Gene: uh, let’s see, Bowie-Major Tom, Floyd-Eclipse, and Elton-Rocket Man. Jack: hmmm. No CCR-Bad Moon Rising? Gene: Oh shit, I missed a turn. Jack: Haha. Good thing your wife isn’t here to get on you about that, right? Gene: Amen, brother. It’s nice to get out with just the dudes. Jack: Righteous. Go with CCR, bro.
Gene: Righteous.
