By Josh Carmel
April 1, 2061
Some say he is a little bit country, while others contend that he is a little bit rock and roll. Students at Gettysburg College know, however, that he is all techno. Like that undulating, pseudo-nauseating, cranial cramping beat on the subwoofer of your entirely antique 86 Honda Civic with the plaid seat covers and the plastic ...
