“Holy shit, Walton. What happened to you?”
“I’m not Bill Walton, Mickey. I’ve told you four times already.”
“Then where is he?”
“I have no idea.”
“What day is it?”
“Friday.”
“Shit. I lost three days.”
“Wow. Does that happen a lot?”
“I don’t know.”
“Figures you wouldn’t, right?”
“Sure. You look nice, though. And I like your little hat. We can be friends.”
“We’ve known each other for 30 years, Mickey.”
“Marjorie Jumpinbump.”
“You think my name is ‘Marjorie Jumpinbump?’ You got literally everything wrong. Gender, ethnicity, general vibe. All wrong.”
“I didn’t want to use a Latin name. Assuming things is racist now.”
“I have a Latin name, Mick.”
“Jose Taco.”
“That‘s racist. That shit was racist shit.”
“See!? You don’t know where the line is any more!”
“What’s my name, man?”
“Primrose Bombardier.”
“What?”
“Johnny Fongool.”
“You’re clearly just making up silly names. I’m getting insulted.”
…
“Branfordito?”
“I’m leaving.”
(EDITOR’S NOTE: That man’s name is Giovanni Hidalgo, and he has played with Sammy Hagar.)
Just a funny picture of mickey that I found while I wast rying to find an image of him playing that cactus.

Mickey AND Betty could get it.
he looked like freddie m!
(1) That Sammy credit is cool, but I’m more impressed that Giovanni played on Cameo’s “Word Up!”
(2) What does Giovanni love? LPs? EPs? ELP? (My brain assumed the latter on first peek but, then, it would).
How about the brand,”Latin Percussion,” well-known for an LP logo.

I love mickeys early solo albums, the Sammy Hagar reference got a laugh, kind of like saying another ‘master’ – Hendrix was known for playing with sha na na. Anyway for the enthusiasts there is a new live Mickey Hart release from 1973 which I don’t know anything just heard a few songs – is available on Spotify. And the new ready or not does have a lazy river road and so many roads which is never a bad thing to release.
