“Hey, Jer.”
“Yeah, Bob?”
“Given any thought to my idea?”
“Yeah. Lotta thought. And it’s a no. You can’t change your name to Bobby W.”
“Sheila does it.”
“Well, man, I hate to bring up bridges and jumping off them, but the situation does call for it.”
“I gotta do something here, Jer. Can I confide in you, Big Guy?”
“We’ve talked about that nickname and my feelings towards it.”
“It’s just that I’m used to being the good-looking one in the group.”
“Huey’s jawline and baby-blues making you anxious, man?”
“Well, yeah. I mean: he’s the Bobby of this photo. And that’s weird for me, cuz usually I’m the Bobby.”
“The man ain’t ugly.”
“And if we’re being completely honest: I’m also usually the best athlete in the group. Sure, that’s not tough cuz the group I’m referring to is the Grateful Dead, and I don’t have to tell you that our band is full of spazzes.”
“Not an athletically-inclined combo.”
“But here I am with Joe Montana. And it turns out that Huey used to play minor-league baseball. So, I’m third-best at best.”
“Well, hey, man: I’m fifth. Don’t be bitching about your troubles to me.”
“I’m not even the best guitarist here!”
…
“Weir?”
“What?”
“Look at me, buddy.”
“What?”
“You have the best hair here.”
…
“I’ve been using a new leave-in conditioner.”
“You can tell.”
“There’s a gloss that wasn’t previously evident.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Thanks, Big Guy.”
“Not gonna warn you again about that shit, man.”
That photo would be even more incongruous if Jello Biafra had crashed the set. I honestly thought Joe Montanalo was John Fogerty until I read the missive and did a double take.
Loving this post, this is what I come here for. Speaking of Sheila E, if Alejandro Escovedo comes to a venue near you, by all means, go see him. Don’t even think about it, just go.
Bluh blippy blappin’
And your still still crappin’
You’ll do anything
To avoid a Sport Coat
Jerry looks like he just woke up.
This is the weirdest thing I’ve eva seen…
What’s best is when you find this photo on the stock image site, all the people in the photo are identified… except Bobby W
