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

Tag: Chris Robinson

Bottle Of Dead, Bottle Of White

You’re done with the La Croix, huh?

“I, uh, don’t need your commentary on my drinking hobby.”

Habit.

“They’re virtually the same word if you have a speech impediment.”

That’s not a metric we judge vocabulary on.

“You play your game; I’ll play mine.”

You ever think of getting any tattoos?

“Sure, yeah. I was gonna get a big swastika on my chest. But, uh then I remembered that I wasn’t a Nazi.”

No.

“Or a Buddhist.”

You’re close.

“Yeah. I’m Buddhish. I was thinking about maybe an eagle on my face.”

Do not get a tattoo of an eagle on your face, Bobby.

“It would really up my Soundcloud clout.”

Bad idea.

“Maybe some pot leafs on my cheeks.”

Are we still talking about your face?

“I think so.”

Don’t do it. Whenever I see someone with tats, I wonder what they’ll look like when they’re 70.

“Well, uh, that was last year for me.”

Oh, right. Get all the ink you want.

“Sweet.”

Black-Toasted Crowe

Bobby. Buddy. I want you to concentrate on your cheeks. The muscles in there. Pull them upwards.

“My smile isn’t free.”

Fine, I’ll pay.

“You don’t have enough cash.”

True. What’s going on here?

“I think this is my uncle.”

Nope.

“Elderly cousin?”

Nuh-uh.

“Do I have an older brother?”

You don’t. That’s Chris Robinson, and he is 20 years your junior.

“You’re, uh, shitting me.”

Swear to God.

“Huh.”

What’s in the La Croix?

“Straight tequila.”

Sure.

Jealous Again

“Looky there, man. Little Josh suckin’ off the Dead nipple some more.”

Chris Robinson?

“Heeeey, brother.”

Don’t call me brother. I know how you treat your brother.

“It’s just shit, man. Legacy acts playing their old hits. Just sad, man.”

Sure. What are you doing this week?

“Playing a show from ’77 with Phil.”

Uh-huh.

“Where’s his beard?”

Who?

“Josh.”

Don’t call him that. Only me and Bobby and everybody else gets to call him that.

“Still: where’s his beard?”

I don’t think he has a girlfriend at the moment.

“You think this is what Jerry would have wanted?”

He’s dead. He doesn’t get a vote, except maybe in Chicago.

“Whatever, man. Just sad Play your own songs!”

You’re very hard to handle, Chris Robinson.

“You suck, too.”

Nice of you to stop by. Call first next time.

A Snack For Your Senses

Something for all of your senses, Enthusiasts: for your reading pleasure, kinda, is this appreciation of Garcia’s solo(s) from the 5/22/77 Sugaree.  The author gets much right, such as the fact than any Sugaree under 15 minutes is by definition a failed Sugaree, but he adopts the Apologetic Deadhead stance I find so irritating.

“I know the Dead aren’t cool–you’re right, you’re right–but I’m not like an obsessive or anything and I shower and on and on.”

To the writer, I respond in the immortal words of Paul Stanley: Do you believe in rock and roll? Well, then: stand up for what you believe in.

Here’s that Sugaree he writes about:

Also, your ears will enjoy Radio Busterdog live and streaming from Terrapin Crossroads, where Phil’s Phriend for the evening is Chris Robinson, who still has no hips.

I cannot help you with the other senses. Probably bit off more than I could chew with the opening. Oh, well.

Two Skinny White Guys Agree

IMG_2397Who doesn’t work for a credit card company?

“Me!”

“Me!”

Yay!

“Yay!”

“Yay!”

“I probably would if one of them asked, though.”

“Sure. Especially American Express.”

“With their range of credit options, 2% cashback on online purchases, and free fraud protection? Hell, yeah.”

Good talk, guys.

Also: Chris Robinson is slowly turning into Iggy Pop.
