Running with Riffraff



A former Marine and small engine repair man friend of mine plays in a blue collar band and he got very upset at a recent gig when the owner of the bar/ restaurant charged a cover to get in explaining “that will keep out the riffraff.”
“We are the riffraff,”my friend screamed, "and if you think my mother and all my cousins are paying 10 dollars you have another thing coming.”
It is true that American soldiers fought wars for the unalienable rights of riffraff. And if you designate riffraff as cool then all the parrot heads and black turtle neck jazz wannabes will want to be riffraff as well.
Not only is riffraff a relative word but it may actually be your relatives or depending on the social situation it may be you?
Some people are skuzzy I don’t think there’s any question about that but riffraff is a more physical group in that they will kick your ass or start a riot without much provocation. The good news is they will fight but they are not any good at it because riffraff tend to be all uncoordinated out of shape and shit.
You know a Cement Mixer Riffraff Bar and Grill where they serve dirty people with hats and boots would make some serious money.
“Riffraff I was taking a bath rub dub ring around the tub”
Ever sit on the stoop among an entire block or urban riffraff? Just drinking and talking dumb shit and laughing at illogical jokes that ain’t funny? It is just the best time.
