Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Kid Can’t Read At 17

Hey, Garcia. Whatcha doing?

“Soloing.”

You love that.

“It ain’t the pits.”

Did you pick out all the symbols for the fretboard?

“Kinda. I said ‘Put some bullshit on it,’ and Dougie ran with the concept.”

What does it all mean?

“I don’t speak hieroglyph, man. Ask an Egyptian.”

Oh, I know one. Hey, Oteil?

“You may call me Opteil.”

Like Ptolemy. Nice.

“The joke only works in print.”

Still, it’s a good one. Anyway, can you read hieroglyphics?

“Are you accusing a black man of being illiterate?”

HIEROGLYPHICS. Totally not an offensive question.

“I’m fucking with you.”

It’s just that I got Miles Davis calling me racist all the time now. I’m overly sensitive.

“Can’t have that. Worst part of racism is the temporary discomfort it causes white people.”

So true. So fucking true.

“Yes, I can read hieroglyphics.”

How’d you learn?

“Rosetta Stone.”

Nice.

“I’m on fire tonight.”

You are. So, what does Wolf’s fretboard say?

“Huh. Lemme see.”

..

“Interesting.”

“Oh, sure.”

“Hmm.”

Well?

“It’s a recipe for spaghetti bolognese.”

Was not expecting that.

“Nope. Hey, what did the Ancient Egyptian student say to the spelling teacher?”

What?

“How many birds in pharaoh?”

Killing it, man.

“I feel good in this outfit.”

It suits you.

    Were there 2 Wolves? This one looks to have different inlays on the headstock….

        250×250 is the max

      The neck broke at some point and the inlay got changed.

        We should really start to question our life choices if this is how we’re spending our free time.

        TotD, what’s the date on the pic? That’s the original Wolf… strat-style single coils (and Jerry on the middle, as usual), only one output.

        • Luther Von Baconson

          Lindley Meadows ’75?

          you got the single coil Wolf, leather-jacketed transitioning to Mummenschanz Jerry

          For the block Peter
