Passing The Torch

There is this certain feeling of pride, when you dive into a whole pile of dirty, stinky, second hand clothes, and in the midst of black, blue and various shades of suspicious stains something pleasantly yellow attracts your attention, and you fish this out : A Bruce Springsteen T shirt, biiitches!

A young, wild, Malay man, with romantic mullet hair cascading down his back, who used to play lead guitar in a band in Ipoh, with dreams of being the next big thing on Juara Lagu probably wore this shirt before Hanic here was even born. And while he sold this shirt off and settled for a house in Damansara and a 9 to 5 executive job, Bruce Springteen lives on, wild and free, on a woman in Penang, who is drinking God knows what from that brown bag.
