Day 14

Bad Habit by Steve Lacy

My older brother hates admitting he’s wrong. I think he just has a hard time giving credit where credit is due.

There are a lot of things I look up to my older brother for, practically everything really. He’s really good at a lot of things. Very smart as well.

We cross paths on our taste in music from time to time, however it’s rare. He likes Dave Matthews, I like Mac Miller, we both like Jack Johnson which is a story for another time.

There’s a science to having the power of the aux cord. You need to have an eye and an ear alert at all times. One eye is on the road while the other is looking around catching the vibe from the passengers. When you get the “what song is this?” you know you’ve made it big.

I had that power when Steve dropped his most famous song, however this was before the TikTokers got their hands on it. I played it for my brother and I could tell this was the one he would finally add to his playlist.

A few weeks later, we all went to Starved Rock State Park which a trail about an hour out of the city. I took my old pup brad, he took his dog coco.

We had a beautiful sunset on the ride home. Joey had aux (rightfully so – his car) and had some oldies on. Out of nowhere, out came Steve Lacy.

Neither of us said a word. The music said everything that needed to be said on that ride home.
