How Come You Treat Me The Way You Do?

To properly listen to this song:

1) Move to the south side of Chicago as a student.

2) Live in a gigantic hovel of an apartment with six other people. Never do the dishes. Spend much time eating food that is bad for you and drinking Schlitz.

3) Discover the blues. Go to blues clubs in bad neighborhoods and listen to the blues. Congratulate yourself on still being alive afterwards. Then congratulate yourself on how cool you are.

4) Throw a party and invite some of the cool bluesmen you know so that other students can see how cool you are.

5) Wake up the next morning incredibly hung over. Wander out into living room where roommates are trying to finish the left-over keg of beer so it can be returned.

6) Put this song on the stereo. Listen. Realize that it's not you who's cool. It's the music.

Hound Dog Taylor - Sadie
