People Who Died
Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

(Chorus:)
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD’d on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died / I miss ‘em–they died

(Chorus)

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others,
And I salute you brother/ This song is for you my brother

(Chorus)

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys’ Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn’t fly . . . Tony died

(Chorus)

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin’ on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it’s dangerous,
but it sure beats Riker’s
But the next day he got offed
by the very same bikers

(Chorus)

i dont understand …

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
Drano
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Riker’s

thanks in advance
yeah ive seen The Basketball diaries and quite like the song, i was just wondering what those few words and phrases meant

I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don’t have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I’ve had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I’d like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50.
Being only 20 I obviously don’t have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into–or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging.
Thanks so much!

Im about 21 and recently have been interested in wine. I drink socially with my friends and spend about £10-15 on a bottle of wine. I only like red wines and would like to know some key tips and general information that will help scrub up my wine knowledge. Thanks.

So I just recently turned 21, and I’ve never been into drinking at all so I truthfully know just about NOTHING about it…I’ve been thinking about buying a bottle of wine for myself now that I can just to try it out and see if I enjoy it…so there’s this cheap stuff that Kroger has on sale 2 for that I’m thinking about trying, and if I remember correctly it said it was around 6% alcohol proof on the bottle.

My friend was telling me that she had a glass of red wine once (18% proof) and her boyfriend found her crawling on the ground, so I’m just wondering if a glass of 6% proof would have anything like that effect on anyone.

I am labeled as “Two Buck Chuck” which is sold at Traders Joe, far left of New Mexico. There is a well known fable on why my price is so low. The owner of my label recently had a divorce with his wife which led to her wanting all the profits. The creator of me decided to make the prices as low as possible to make no profit; hence my name, Two Buck Chuck. During the time of the holidays sales are up, especially during Thanksgiving when families get together as a unit. Because of my low prices I am a popular vote for those who are tight on money, or even homeless, however the wealthy do not find me popular, they despise me because of my low prices. Back in the old days the wealthy did not see me equal to a thirty five to fifty dollar of fine red wine. In my early days as a grape, I traveled from my factory in California where I was processed, to New Jersey’s Traders Joe; from there I was purchased by a homeless young male named Jackson McMoney. Jackson did have morals and purchased me to give to his family back home. From his eyes he understood that without me, a bottle of wine, he was unable to show his expression for his family; who he held dear, and me without him, I was unable to perform obligations that the lord of the grape has assigned me. Jackson McMoney has survived on the generosity of people. And with enough money saved, he bought me, Two Buck Chuck, and a bus fair home. As he was sitting on the bus, he fell into a hypnotized state of mind, and in his mind he thought about his position in life. He understood that being homeless has changed his mentality of daily life. People are too embarrassed to scramble through the trash for food, clothing, and basic utensils for life, Jackson has went away with the embarrassment for another day; another chance to change. He went away with emotions, which he thought it was an anchor holding him down during hard decisions. People considered him insane, but he knows when they themselves has lost everything they will do anything for another day of sunlight. That is, if they have the willingness to not give up. He also considered himself socially ignorant, because he had not talked to another soul for several months; he only wished that people would see him as part of their community and not a burden sitting at the corner of Loman and Telshore. He once told someone that he did not choose this life. “This life was not given to me, nor do I choose this life. But this life was provoked through mistreatment, hard times, and heartbreak. Although some choose this life because they enjoy it, I however do not” As he finally returned home where he spent his childhood, his mom cried out, “look who’s finally home! If only your father was here too see this…” He hugged his mom, finally reaching out to touch another soul he handed her me, Two Buck Chuck. Jackson finally is spending his time with his family. Everyone on this earth has a Mum and Dad, whether they were loved unconditionally or not loved at all, everyone has a place on this earth and a chance to live their life to the fullest extent. He went down the wrong road but the one thing he learned about this experience is that all people are printed with a story, and until one decodes the print, we’ll finally find out who we are, why we are here and where we’re I going. Everything is better with a bottle of wine…

I’m the Night Auditor at a restaurant/hotel, and I’ve got to deduct the cost of a bottle of wine from the sales report (because the sob customer walked out w/o paying, grrr…….) but I don’t know whether to deduct this from the sales report of white wines or red wines.

Is "Nel Pino GRS" referring to a white or a red wine?

Thanks in advance.
Thanks to almost all of you. That helps.

I want to know why all red wine tastes the same to me, it doesn’t matter if I drink merlot, cabernet, pinot noir they all taste the same.
What can I do to actually enjoy a glass of wine b/c I would love to order a bottle of wine when I go out to dinner with my wife but it would be a waste for me.
