Did you drink a lot during the Republican Presidential Primary Debate last night? Us too! Made it super hard to get out the door this morning. But then we thought to ourselves, “Goddammit, 83-year-old ska and reggae guitarist Ernest Ranglin is out there slogging it out on the road, and we’re going to bitch about a slight politics and Steelhead-provoked hangover? WWERD? He would go to work."
