if this ain’t nice by reverend coldheart published on 2022-09-30T00:33:02Z If this ain’t nice then what is ? This was said by Kurt Vonneguts’ uncle at family gatherings according to Kurt in a YouTube video of one of his lectures about the shapes of stories . So it goes . Joe Strummer made some of the best music I’ve ever heard . Phenomenal songwriter musician who made each song his own. He wrote a song titled “Ramshackle Day Parade” . So it goes . The vw bus bit is a high school memory. Imagine The 70’s Show . Old Bob is a ditty from long, long ago.
