Mr. Shife's March Madness 2016 - Day 5

Prepare to have your senses elevated to stupendous status.

 

I have no idea how or why this video avoided me for this long, but we have finally had the pleasure of becoming acquainted. I know it's early in our relationship, but I think I am in love.
Lionel Richie + beer + the song "Hello" equals, well,  let my good friend Jeff Spicoli tell you:


What the hell does all this mean and why do I have a love affair with Lionel Richie is probably a question surfacing in your mind.
Well back in 1997, I purchased an blue Chevy S-10 that came equipped with a cassette deck. I eventually upgraded to a CD player, but before that happened it was just me and my tapes when I was driving my truck that eventually became known "Jorge." In 1997, cassette tapes weren't really the rage and everything was transitioning to CDs. I was also at my parent's home in Illinois for the summer before I would head back to Idaho for college and that meant most of my music was back at my fraternity.
One of the few choices I had for music was a Lionel Richie's greatest hits cassette tape and I played that thing until I had to do stuff like this:


Basically I love Lionel and I love beer and this commercial makes me pretty happy.
Enjoy your evening. Thanks for swinging by.



I will persevere. I will keep moving forward. I will be the stream.

  3. Lionel Ritchie.... ah now you're talking. He's the best. Can't say the same about beer, though.

  4. Was that Jorge as in "George" or Jorge as in "Whore-hey"?
