Do you have the time

Aloe,
Hope you had a spooky, socially-distanced Halloween!
Which is weird.
How did trick-or-treating work? Just throwing candy at kids? That actually doesn’t sound bad.
Speaking of bad…
Just wanna give you the first-look, before anyone else, at my new cover of Ba(d)sket Case by Green Day here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKw97ffilpg
Quick shtory:
Not too long ago, my friend Rocky and I were busking in the streets of Sandy Eggo — sorry, I meant San Diego. Which, according to Ron Burgundy, is Spanish for “A Whale’s Va–” (Stop being stupid, Dylan)
Moving on,
After playing for a while, there was a Scottish couple sitting nearby, and the man asked (with a thick Scottish accent) if I knew any “guh deen day.”
Me: “Sorry I’ve never heard of them, guh-deen-day?”
Him: “You’ve never heard of G’deen day?”
Me: “No”
Then it hit me.
Me: “Ohhhh, Green Day! Yeah I know them, but I can’t play any of their songs.”
Until now.
Enjoy,
Dylan
P.S. RIP Sean Connery, it might be too soon but, “What time does Sean Connery go to Wimbledon?”
“Ten-ish”
Hope you get that one.
