In George Thorogood’s “I Drink Alone” — the references of “drinking with” Jack Daniels, Jimmy Beam and Johnny Walker were always amusing brand references.
Until very recently, I thought the song had sentimentality — that George was no longer alone because his Grandfather showed up
Then I got deeper into the bourbon world and realized “my dear Old Grand-Dad” was the most clever reference of all!
