Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Whiskey in the Jar

Soundtrack to My Life – Track twenty-three

I used to have a pretty busy social life, back in the day. I think some weeks I went out for drinks four or five times. Not anymore though – I rarely drink and if I do it’s no more than twice a month and usually in the comfort of my own home (or someone else’s).

Looking back, I must have spent an absolute fortune on going out: I got taxis everywhere and Cambridge is not exactly cheap.

One of my favourite things to do was go and see live music in a pub, I did this nearly every weekend. Sometimes I did it on Friday and Saturday nights. My favourite pub for this was called The Rock – aptly named, huh? Or,, at least it was, until they turned it into a bloody upmarket wine bar! Whyyyy?

Anyway, most of the live music I saw was rock. Therefore, track 23 simply reminds me of all the great nights I had at The Rock, listening to rock.
