“Do, uh, horses ever try to eat you?”
“I’m not actually made of oats, Bob.”
“Why would you say that?”
“Because I thought you were confused about my name. Oates.”
“I had absolutely no idea what your name was. I’ve been asking everyone about the horse thing.”
“Oh, okay.”
“I was kind of the Oates in the Dead. Except, you know: good-looking. And I got to sing lead half the time. So, really, not the Oates at all.”
“If you say so.”
“Oh, uh, my lawyer wants me to ask you something. Did you remember listening to He’s Gone before you wrote She’s Gone?”
“Your lawyer, huh?”
“He’s a curious fellow.”
“I don’t recall.”
“Huh. Well, do you have any detailed calendars from 1976?”
“I don’t.”
“Just asking.”

I guess Todd Rundgren toured with a quadrophonic system that took 2 days to set up. In 78 , or so I just read.

That was absolutely as much of a beautiful mess as one would have thought it would have been. Thank you for sharing.
