Participant, and as a writer. My characters all do this when the plot has fallen apart, and I'm willing to throw down myself, too, when all else fails.

Checking with my Rockabilly records they concur suggesting that you "Rip it up" or "Tear it Up" or "Cut it Loose."

Being Safe only has one virtue. What the Fuck has several.

Would "Kick Out the Jams" fit into that category, ya think?
