“What the Hell, Dude?
Get your own girl!” – Jessie

I saw that quote on Twitter a long time ago
and it made me chuckle.

And it reminded me
that I did a guitar cover of Jessie’s Girl back in…
My Goodness! Twelve years ago! In 2001.

I used to love this song when I was young
because of Rick Springfield.
I remember how good looking and cool he was.
Playing guitar, singing songs, getting the girls.
He’ll surely get his wish and get Jessie’s girlfriend.

So that’s when I started to think at a very young age
that if I learn how to play guitar and sing songs,
I too can be cool and probably get a girl like Jessie’s.

I learned guitar and sang songs
But sadly, I needed to be good looking too,
which apparently was a very important ingredient
to be a cool Rock Star like Rick.
I wasn’t.

Also, to know Self Defense for when that time
Jessie beat the crap out of me
and walked away with his girl,
holding her in his arms, late, late at night.
(Sigh) I wonder what she didn’t see in me.

But that’s not important right now.
that was a long time ago,
and I spent a lot of money in rehab and therapy.

So, anyway.
Here’s an old jam I wanted to re-share.
