Richard Scarry is arguably one of the best writers of all time, seriously, ask any 4 year old.
“Cars and Trucks and Things That Go” is a particular favorite, with a star-studded cast including Lowly Worm and Officer Flossy. Children love this book, especially the little boys who are drawn in by, well, “cars and trucks and things that go.” And apparently this fascination does not go away with the peach fuzz, as evidenced by Florida’s own Officer Flossie, which seems to be a variation on the name of Scarry’s character. This Officer Flossie is an indie rock band coming complete with that extra special something.
The group celebrated the release of their 7 song EP, entitled I Will Have It, with a show in Gainesville, Florida at 1982. They took the stage and nailed it for the entirety of the set. Of course, it helps that their EP is a straight-up hit factory. The pop-rock tracks would fit comfortably within rotation at any top-40 or active rock radio station. The best part about the group is that everything they do on the EP is magnified in the best way possible when you see them live.
