Look, I'm no prude. I've had a few beers...like maybe six in the past YEAR*, one on a hot summer's night, at home. I much prefer hot tea and honey, but that's my preference.
*There were those two martinis I had in West Palm Beach with my late girlfriend as we were hitting on that NBC Executive poolside...yecchh...how can people drink that stuff! The boss yelled "You people drank the bar!" (2 martinis is hardly "drinking the bar," but there's my confession. First and last time I will ever have a martini. Stuff taste like poison... There was that drink I had in the bar in 1995 when the bosses flew me to Seattle (same hotel as in the movie DISCLOSURE with Demi Moore, we were working on the Paul Sorvino project, his daughter was sitting just two tables away...)) when that attractive doctor was hitting on me...but before I could order another drink we were off to never never land...love it when they are wearing wedding rings and are off on business...monkey business as my late girlfriend would say* ..but that's a story for another day...damn, wish I got his phone number...that was dumb of me...oh well...few e mails in those days...I think he was from Washington DC....name? Your Honor, you expect me to remember his name? What's in a name??? It was 22 years ago...) The good old days... lots more stories to tell but we won't bother you with them...today... (*you know how some married people sit up in bed all night reading their bank books? Jo Jo and I would sit around comparing notes on our EXPLOITS...God I miss that girl...)
So why are there SO MANY LIQUOR boxes in my home and my storage units?
TONS of 'em!
That's right...I don't drink alcohol, but I'm frequently in liquor stores. So why is that?
THE CARDBOARD BOXES THEY PUT VODKA IN ARE PERFECT IF YOU CART AROUND VINYL ALBUMS!
WHAT I FIND SHOCKING IS HOW MANY BOXES ARE AVAILABLE PER DAY TO RECORD COLLECTORS WHO NEED THEM FOR OUR PRECIOUS VINYL!
File under: VINYL, NOT ALCOHOL, ADDICTION
Mr. Scamuso wanted to take me to the VA (Vinyl Addiction) meetings...but I was too busy interviewing the people who MAKE the records to attend....
I was also afraid that he would call up the Chinese Pizza Delivery guys as a distraction and try to swipe my vinyl! Perhaps he was thinking there was actually a REAL Vodka bottle that got lost in the equation...
