It’s upside-down, Bobby.

“The jacket? I don’t wear them a lot, but I’m pretty sure this is the proper configuration.”

The slide.

“I didn’t bring my slide. Just playing acoustic tonight.”

No, a bolo tie has three pieces: the cord, the metal tips on the end of the cord called aglets, and the thing that holds it together is called the slide.

“I feel like we all just learned something.”

The guitar should be pointing down.

“Like they crucified Saint Peter.”

…

Yeah, sure, I guess.

“It’s my bolo tie, and I’ll wear it how I please, thank you.”

I’m looking out for you here. If you look down too fast, you’re gonna get an accidental tracheotomy.

“That’s the worst kind. I’ll take my chances.”

Holy shit, Bobby, please get someone to straighten those pictures. I’m gonna have an attack looking at this.

“I’ll get my best men on it.”

Thank you. Who are these people?

“I was about to ask you the same question.”

I think it’s a band.

“They’ve got guitars.”

Right.

“Could’ve stolen ’em, though. Maybe they just robbed a Sam Ash.”

You’re a lateral thinker. Just ask who they are, Bobby.

“That would be awkward.”

Why?

“We already played a set. Tell ya what, this guy’s scarf looks familiar.”

Yeah?

“I never forget a scarf. The other stuff tends to flicker in and out of my consciousness, but scarves? I meet a scarf once, and it’s in there.”

What about the guy wearing it?

…

“Wait, yeah. I got it. I’ve seen this fellow before.”

Awesome. Where?

“He’s standing two people to my left.”

No, Bob.

“You sure?”

Not totally, but pretty much.

“Ah, you know: I can’t tell white people apart. Or white jeans.”

And the Keds.

“They were, you know, going for a look. I’m not a white jean guy, myself.”

Why not?

“What if spaghetti’s for lunch?”

Sure.

Is that a bolo tie?

“Uh, no. I was on the other bus.”

So, it’s a bozo tie?

“All bolo ties are bozo ties.”

What is this you’re doing here?

“Charity?”

You don’t sound sure.

“Well, I’m wearing a tux.”

Probably charity.

…

“You done with Queen?”

You hiring writers for the Amazon show?

“Carry on, then.”

I thought so.
