Untitled 3/1/14 Poem by Andy Caldwell

bang bang bunghole
those were the days for rock and roll
there were many many local bands
with pretty boys in their spandex pants
on stage playing a department store axe
pretending a Gibson or a Les Paul
they covered songs from famous bands
honored sexually by androgynous fans
back in those days I listened to other songs
music like the Eagles and Genesis  played
never to be one of the hipster crowd
I thought heavy metal was much too loud
I spent many nights working on my truck
hanging with my girl friend till late enough
often we would dance alone to tunes
listening to music on the old cassette
after all these years I don't regret
and I have memories that I won't share
but moments I can never forget
