Going generally counter-clockwise, but retaining the option to call an audible and double-back or skip around:
- Is Keith staring Death in the eyes?
- That’s the only explanation for that expression.
- And he is about to spill his Fanta.
- Keith Godchaux loved Fanta.
- Mrs. Donna Jean, as always, has the best hair; if she were a collie, you would think her owner had been mixing raw eggs in with her kibble.
- I bet Mrs. Donna Jean had all sorts of rules and schedules and protocols regarding her hair and its upkeep.
- Shampoo once every this many days, and condition once every that many, and various calibers of comb and brush.
- Plus assorted scarfs and babushkas for bad hair days.
- Deadheads over the years have spread vile rumors about Mrs. Donna Jean regarding supposed assignations that were extramarital but intrabandial, and I find this low gossip intolerable and cruel.
- But she definitely wasn’t banging Phil.
- That is some rough body language there.
- The longer you look, the more they hate each other.
- The hips are the giveaway, but Mrs. Donna Jean’s lean–as if she’s italicizing herself–is the clincher; one will also note Phil’s posture, which can be described only as “surly.”
- Everyone in the top row is happy not to be in the bottom row, because the bottom row is weird and unfun and Keith might have just pooped himself.
- OF IMPORTANCE: Each of the non-Billy men in the top row has taken caution in re: getting their dicks punched, and punched hard.
- Bobby’s elected to go all-in with the knee, while Mickey and Garcia have not only positioned their shoulders in front of Billy’s, relieving him of any leverage, but also have their free hands in dick-adjacent readiness.
- The non-Billy men have done this unconsciously, by sheer muscle memory, as they have been in a band with Billy for 12 years now.
- You live, you learn.
- Speaking of Billy, this–long hair and mustache–was his best look.
- Coming back from the Hiatus to ’77, I think.
- He looked like a dog-track habitue.
- Owned a dozen laundromats on the black side of town, racist as fuck, good tipper, got divorced more than he got married.
- Had an Airedale terrier named Chico.
- And finally: Being a Rock Star is a hoot most of the time, but you’re still gonna spend a lot of afternoons in rooms with folding chairs and bare lightbulbs.
No ones taking billy up on his “pull my finger” offer
And….
Jerrys so fucking cool!
Literally the worst I’ve seen Donna look. Like over the break she lost her youth and hasn’t yet decided how to be beautiful as a grown up. Coke and the Phil fight probably not helping either.
Keith is walking in the footsteps of Isadora Duncan at this point.
It’s the scarf. He’s challenging fate.
I think Phil is farting.
The back row looks entirely gay. Is there something we don’t know?
OMG you are right, they even foretell the Gay animal types of Bear, Otter, Twink, and Billy (although the Billy type never took off)
Donna’s got bigger hands than anyone.
phil’s pants…..so bad.
