I recently went to this bar that’s near where my boyfriend lives. It’s a little hole in the wall that doesn’t really get your attention. I could focus on the porno paneling on the outside of the bar, or the woman who was high as a kite (not on pot) and hitting on my guy – going so far as to be kissing on his check – but I would rather focus on the juke.

I think that a so-so bar can be great with nothing more than a juke. I’ll happily drink my Miller Lite out of a can if for $1 in quarters I get to enjoy some good tunes. This bar had a good juke with some great variety.

And then I got to the last CDs. Now, bear in mind that this bar is in a predominantly black, urban area. So imagine my surprise at seeing not only a CD for Diana Krall in the juke, but also one for Charlotte Church, the Welch opera singing sensation, who’s like 15. I think Church might be the whitest white girl ever. You can check out one of her tunes.

Weird.
