Hey, Bobby. Whatcha doing?
“Tuning up for the big TV spot. Gonna be on Carson.”
Nope.
“Leno?”
Nuh-uh.
“Is Josh Meyers guest-hosting again?”
Jimmy Fallon.
“Who?”
Yeah, that’s about the only right answer to that. He’s a little drunken giggler. Plays beer pong with his guests so he doesn’t have to have a conversation like a grown-up.
“Ah. Must have missed the announcement.”
Bobby, why are you tuning up? The show’s not for, like, seven hours.
“Well, you know: I can either tune now, or do it while we’re supposed to be playing like usual.”
Now’s good.
“Yup.”
One more question: how many songs you guys doing?
“Um. Just, uh, the one.”
One song?
“That’s the way these things work.”
Then why do you need so many doodads?
“If I didn’t bring them, how would people know I played guitar?”
You’re holding one.
…
“Sometimes, you don’t get it, man.”
Have a good show, Bob.
“Sure.”

Yes I’m a dork
A+ dorking tho
As much as I’d love for all those to add up to Greatest Story>Estimated, I don’t see it fitting into the schedule.
That’s great! Embrace the dorkiness. Now if only we could identify what’s stuck to the bottom of his sandal?
I was saddened to see they are commodity boxes, I want some home made thingy in there, with gyroscopes, and shit.
Is Bob wearing tracky daks?
“Have mercy Weir”
“God Weir have mercy please”
..banter heard on some old Grateful Dead concert tapes
His Strat appears to have three switches. Mine only had the one, like
GodLeo Fender meant. Jesus Christ, Weir, even when you switch to the most standard, generic electric guitar in the world, toy have to make it more complicated than it ever needed to be….On the other hand, I am a full twenty years younger than Bobby, and if I sat on the floor like that for more than 5 minutes, I would not be able to get up without pulling myself up with the help of the Red Stool. Not bad for an old guy….
I don’t know if I could even get in that position in the first place.
It’s the Vicodin
