Gary continues the tradition of songwriter/storyteller Jerry Reed. Backed by a tight combo accenting each comical commentary, Gary delivers his tongue-in-cheek tale of woe. 　　 　　This song is about a good guy who had a run-in with the wrong crowd. Hanging with good-time-buddies who made him look like a fool . The moral to this story is keep your chin up when the chips are down. 　　 　　Your good news is this song, Bad News.
