ChampionLover on January 30, Link. General Comment So, heres my basic analysis and some questions I have: Lido is a small time hustler and gambler. He's fed up with his life, maybe he suffered some setback Lido missed the boat that day so he leaves his home town he left the shack But that was all he missed and he ain't comin' back where ever that may be, Tombstone, Arizona? He heads to Chicago Chi-town , intent on winning big playing craps put the money down, let it roll.

A handle is a bottle of liquor, in case you didn't know. I just learned that recently. He just wants to win big once and then he's out He said one more job ought to get it, One last shot 'fore we quit it, One more for the road Apparently things are going well for Lido, Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun until he gets a note from his girlfriend or wife telling him to shape up or she's leaving him until he got the note Sayin' toe the line or blow, and that was all she wrote at which point he quits gambling and eagerly heads home with his winnings He be makin' like a beeline, headin' for the borderline Goin' for broke ReverendJohn on March 28, Link.

I never would have thought of him as a con man or gambler. But I concede it makes more sense the other way. Just a guess…but especially in older drinking establishments one still runs into bars where the bartop itself is made from polished marble or granite; just like tombstones.

Sounds to me like Lido pulled into such an tavern in a car he boosted from a jukejoint and either stuck the place up or swiped money from the cash register.
