Storyteller

Intro to "Thunder Road"
"I've played fireman's fairs. I've played bowling alleys. I've played pizza parlors. I've played hockey rinks. I've played weddings. I've played Bar Mitzvahs. I've played insane asylums. I've played football stadiums. But I have never played a library."

After "Thunder Road"
"Read a book!"
