So Johnny is on a Brandon Schools bus along with his losing 8th grade basketball team. The team pretty much always lost so there's no real trip through the memory banks to see if Brandon had won that night. The bus ride home was a long one, about an hour and a half and something happened that had not happened before when the team had lost, the coach allowed the AM radio to be played on the ride home. Good old CKLW was playing the hits and then comes 'The First Cut Is the Deepest' by Rod Stewart. The song was popular and always on the radio so a few people were softly singing along.
Boy, add ONE letter in ONE word and sing that with the boys in the back of the bus just loud enough for the coaches to figure out what was being sung and when you get back to the school you have to put your sweaty stinky uniform back on and go through a late night conditioning stint.
Johnny blames Rod Stewart.
