Sturgill Simpson Returns In "Waffle House"

Great line and great movie. I graduated in 77 and "Dazed and Confused" reminded me so much of my High School years. Kids don't party like they used to in those days. Going Cruzin', having a Keg Party out in the country. No one shot anyone, maybe a minor fight or two, but that was it. You actually had to talk to people face to face and socialize. And every town had a "Wooderson" type guy. "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

I spent New Years day 2014 dancing in a Waffle House. It was like 2 minutes from midnight and we were still like 10 minutes from home, so we pulled into a Waffle House. We (me, my brother, and my parents) were the only ones there, so we blasted Crocodile Rock and danced with the staff as we counted in the new year, then ate cheesecake and hot chocolate. I was bummed that we were going to spend the new year in a car, but thanks to Waffle House, it ended up being one of my fondest memories :) I hope we made it a better night for the staff too.
