Lynyrd Skynyrd – "Gimme Three Steps" (1973)


Wait a minute, mister

I didn’t even kiss her!



I got very excited when I heard a promo earlier today for a new Sirius/XM channel called “Red White & Booze.”  It features music you might expect to hear on the jukebox at a sleazy bar.


But that’s not why I got excited when I first heard that promo.  I got excited because I misheard the name of that channel.


Actually, I misheard the name of the channel twice.  The second time I misheard it, I thought the name was “Red White & Boots.”


But the first time I misheard it, I thought the name was “Red White & . . .”


(2 or 3 lines ended 2025 with a cheap joke.  Why not start 2026 off the same way?)
