Hey, Bobby. Talking to journalists again?
“I’ll, uh, talk to anyone who’s polite.”
I guess. Are those sex toys?
“Anything’s a sex toy if you’re perverted enough.”
True.
“But, uh: no. They’re what’s called gada maces. Ancient weapons. Have you ever heard of the Knights of Malta?”
Vaguely.
“What about Nights on Broadway?”
What?
“Anyway, the knights would use these bad boys as a last-resort cudgel. Lot of Turkish heads got bashed in with ’em. But, you know, the knights also had downtime. They would repurpose their maces into exercise equipment, due to not being able to order a Bowflex.”
Hadn’t been invented yet
“There ya go. The, uh, knights had to make do.”
So, the article mentions that you don’t proselytize to your the rest of Dead & Company about fitness.
“Well, Billy would hit me and Mickey can’t hear me. No good bothering those two. And, uh, Josh keeps himself in real good shape, although most of that’s for show.”
No core strength?
“Abysmal. I don’t wanna talk out of school, but: abysmal. He just won’t activate his hips.”
I’ve heard that about him.
“I won’t even discuss Branford and New Brent.”
For the best.
Anyone else read these and do Bobby’s voice in their heads as they are reading? Asking for a friend.
Also – god damned nice veins. Jer would be jealous
Garcia was a smoker, not a poker.
That’s like your opinion man.
Maces are superior weapons against heavy armor, fwiw – preferable to swords, axes or anything else you can swing except maybe a weighted pick
so, ah, if he’s ever accosted by the Black Knight, he’s ready
Phil and Billy and Mickey have aged, physically, pretty much as I would have expected them to. (Though that last photo of Phil you posted has him moving a little bit more quickly toward being The Crypt Keeper than I would have imagined). But if you’d told me 25 years ago that Handsome Bobby would have turned into the Buff Lorax in his 70s, I’d have challenged your prediction there, strongly . . .
A Mace is good for show, a sidearm is good for go
