Type of Gig: 
Practicing



Back when I was about 15 years old, me and three other guys were set up on the guitarists front lawn practicing.

We were playing "Detroit Rock City" and a car came screaming down a hill, went up onto a lawn, and crashed into a tree.

If you're familiar with the tune, a car wrecks at the end of the song.
