Story: Picture some young kids laughing, ipods all plugged in, noisy young guys tripping down most any big city street,, in this case, LA, with their pants half-mast, tatoos pretty much on everyone except the student body president who hangs with his bola as an honorary street dude. He’s smart and is the gang’s entrée to the chicks. All in too-warm caps and hoodies made by Diesel and Fukc-wear, they look for trouble, but also pull some less capable geeks out of gang-danger, without much care for tomorrow.. the word career wouldn’t be something they’d contemplate. This is a song about them played happily by Bill pictured here!
