“WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
Hey, Bobby. Whatcha do–
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
Um, why are you yell–
“TOOOOOOOONGGGGGGGGUE!”
Okay, that’s it for this post.
Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
Tag: lockn
“Young lady, I’m gonna need you to reassemble my piano right now.”
“It’s a harp, Bob.”
“No, no. You can’t be a harp player; my drummer would be hurling drumsticks at you.”
“I swear to you that what I’m playing is a harp.”
“Uh-huh. And was it invented–”
“Harpo Marx did not invent the harp, Bobby.”
“–by Harpo…ah. So his name was just a coincidence, then?”
“Um, sure, yeah.”
Good to know.”
Hey, Bobby. Whatcha doing?
“Receiving an award, apparently.”
You didn’t know you were getting that?
“I thought I came on the stage to jam with Peter Tosh.”
He died in ’87.
“Peter Tosh’s hologram, then.”
No. What is the award for?
“I have no idea. It’s a lovely gesture, though. I’m, uh, gonna thank some Jewish fellows.”
Why?
“Well, I watch the Oscars every year, and that seems to be the thing to do. Get an award, thank some Jews. So, uh, here goes: Thanks, Mickey. And, uh, who’s the redhead with the voice who runs this festival?”
Peter Shapiro.
“Him. I thank him. Yaphet Kotto, too. Wanna be diverse in my appreciations, so I’m gonna thank Yaphet Kotto.”
Bobby.
“The man’s a Jew.”
Bobby.
“Wouldn’t know it from looking at him, but he’s a full-on Hebrew.”
…
“And, uh, that lady who plays Wonder Woman.”
You done?
“With what?”
Good speech, buddy.
Hey, Bobby. Whatcha doing?
“Reclining. I’m, uh, getting ready for Passover.”
Sure. Why are you doing it onstage?
“Well, you know the Jewish fellow who isn’t Bill Graham?”
Peter Shapiro.
“He’s got a theory that I don’t have to play any more to draw a crowd. People just, uh, wanna be in my presence before I go. So, we’re testing the theory.”
You’re gonna make Deadheads buy tickets to watch you snooze on a futon?
“No, of course not. We’re gonna let them.”
Ah.
“And there’ll be VIP packages available.”
Of course.
