The Greg Lee Van Experience

It’s only been a few days with SJI in Missouri, but we’ve already logged at least four or five hours in the two rental cars. One car is driven by Greg Lee and the other is led by Sandy and Leon. I’ve had the pleasure of riding in The Greg Lee Van. I capitalize “The” because The Greg Lee Van is not just an ordinary car ride — it’s an experience.

From N.W.A. to Biggie to Taylor Swift, no jams are off limits. On the way from St. Louis to Columbia, a few of the guys in The Van gave their own rendition of songs reaching from “Bump ‘N Grind” to “Oops!...I Did It Again.” The best juxtaposition so far has definitely been swapping from bobbing heads to Drizzy to rocking out to T-Swift’s “Shake It Off.”

We’ll see what new performances the week brings. I just have one proposal: that all students receive a Greg Lee playlist file to bump on our flights out of St. Louis.
