Busted

When I was 14 (this would have been 1995) I shoplifted MCIS from a KMart in Winston Salem, NC. I got out to the parking lot before a pair of police officers stopped me and brought me back inside. The worst part was that my mom was with me. She was Christmas shopping (this was the weekend before Christmas). She cried in the car all the way home. She had refused to buy the album for me because of the presence of the track “Fuck You”. So I did what I felt I had to do. 

The next year I got a job at a grocery store and bought the album properly (quite possibly my first music purchase with my own money). So that’s the story of how I loved SP so much it made my mom cry 🙂
