A Giant Flying Friction Blast

The song Supernova, by Liz Phair, has always made me think of Wade and so I decided to sing him this song for Father’s Day. I did try to line up Biff, my neighbor and guitar teacher, but with school getting out for summer and my embarking on a week long travel gig with the boys, time was not my...

Wade and I looked deeply into each others exhausted eyes...
