"Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party
We were drinking champagne punch and homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him until he sang
Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad"
- Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
MAEK OR BRAEK. "Next year" is the chanting mantra of sports fans and vapid, campaigning politicians. It's the hope to pull your sorry ass out of bed despite your life being as banal and dismal no matter what quack is running your college football program country.
