Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Reasons Sha Na Na Is Better Than Jimi Hendrix

  • Members of Sha Na Na went on to become respected doctors, high-powered litigators, and beloved professors; Jimi did not go on to do anything, as he choked to death on his own vomit at the age of 27.
  • So many guys in Sha Na Na that you could get a good pick-up game going in multiple sports; Jimi just had two guys.
  • None of Jimi’s bands contained any Bowzers at all.
  • Nor did Jimi have Chuck Berry as a musical act.

  • Look, kids: Avery Schreiber!
  • What other Grateful Dead-adjacent websites provide you with Avery Schreiber content?
  • You won’t get The Schreib on Jambase.
  • It’s fair to say that Thoughts on the Dead is the only voice in the online community asking the tough questions, the first of which being Hey, who wants to see Avery Schreiber?
  • That’s a tough qustion, in that most people do not know how to answer it.
  • They’ll say:
    • “Who?”
    • “Wha?”
    • “Did you just lick my ice cream?”
  • And I’ll answer:
    • “Avery Schreiber, braj.”
    • “You wanna see him?”
    • “Yes, I did and I’m gonna bite your cone, too. Stop me. You can’t; I’m an American.”
  • So, you see, the topic of Avery Schreiber is fraught.
  • Fraught!
  • You’ve lost interest in this post, haven’t you?
  • I’m enjoying the tomfoolery, and that people’s time is being wasted.
  • Is there a parasite that specializes in ticks and fleas? Like, a parasite that attacks other parasites. The lowest of the low. Absolute bottom of the food chain. 
  • Are you describing me?
  • I am, yes. 
  • Ouch.
  • Jackass.

    Y’all are HI-larious. Really amusing, and that’s what we come here for. Here’s my counter:
    “Covered by numerous artists in various genres, “All Along the Watchtower” is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded for the album Electric Ladyland with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Hendrix version, released six months after Dylan’s original recording, became a Top 20 single in 1968 and was ranked 47th in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

    Speaking of Chuck… Don’t forget he had to settle with all those women for making movies of them peeing in the bathroom of his restaurant. Seems right up your ally. 😉
