[Brad Fornal]

As some of you may know, I listen to bands that no one has ever heard of.
This story reminds me of one such band. Brian Henneman used to play with
alt/country legend Uncle Tupelo (with Jeff Tweedy now of Wilco, and Jay
Farrar now of Son Volt). He went on to form The Bottle Rockets. On their
disc The Brooklyn Side, he had a song about such a cop that a band member
had a run in with. The song is called Radar Gun, and if you can find it, it
is well worth the listen.
"Straight from 12th grade to the Junior College
Buddy, buddy, buddy, I passed my exam
Making me a law enforcement person
Got me a gun and a badge, I'm a man"
