I asked an old friend if he remembered the huge Brew 102 sign visible from a Los Angeles freeway back in the '50s and  '60s. (See photo below.)  His response:<\/p>\n

'Deed I do remember Brew 102.
Over the Hollywood Freeway.
My arm 'round a cutie in a '55 Buick
Goin' long 'ol Highway 101.<\/p>\n

Here is my verse response which is not meant autobiographically:<\/p>\n

'Twas Brew 102 that did me in
 And got me to drownin' in liquid sin
 Soon I was a rollin' down that lost highway<\/a>
 Where many a boy has been known to stray
 On 66 I got my kicks<\/a>
 And on 101 I had my fun.
 But now I'm here to tell you true
 We ain't on this earth to booze and screw
 The female ass and the whisky glass
 Have brought many a man to a sorry pass.
 That's my wisdom take it straight<\/a>
 And head while there's time for the narrow gate
 It's not too late and it's not too far
 As long's  you don't stop at the next whisky bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
