Good Cover / Bad Cover – “Someday I Will Treat You Good”

For every good cover version of a song, there is a bad one. Sorry, that’s just how the universe works.

In all the years I’ve been shouting chatting about music with people, absolutely no one has asked me, “Hey Jeff, what’s your favorite song about being left on the side of the road?” and that really bothers me because I have not one, but two A+ answers. To remedy this, let’s pretend you and I are sitting in a Starbucks getting to know each other, drinking some fartberry-spiced coffees and splitting a $7 doughnut. You say, “Jeff, I know it’s none of my business and we just met but what are your two favorite songs about being left on the side of the road?”

In an attempt to make friends at his new school, Leo Jeffries started a Scrabble Club. The skinny, 14-year-old freshman was shocked to find out that an esteemed learning institution like Elmont High School did not already have a Scrabble club.

Within a day of posting fifty bright yellow “Do You Dabble in Scrabble?” flyers in the hallways, over 100 enthusiastic students signed up for the fledgling club.

“I was so excited to meet all these cool people! There is a great mix of kids in the club… jocks, cheerleaders, student body officers and lots of other popular kids. I never knew there were so many people into Scrabble word games, anagrams and etymology. It’s great! I even met a really nice girl and we are going on a date this Saturday night. I can’t wait…”

Suddenly, the ebullient Leo is rudely interrupted mid-sentence by the blaring morning alarm clock of reality that awakens the confused lad and ends yet another dream that will never, ever come true.
