Hey, Bobby. Whatcha doing?

“Vastly overshooting the carrying capacity of this couch.”

That’s a two-person deal.

“Oh, yeah.”

Can you introduce me to your friends?

“Sure, yeah. I assume you know my potato salad.”

I do.

“And, uh, Ramblin’ Jack.”

I know Ramblin’ Jack.

“Next to him, well, that’s a lady.”

Mm-hmm.

“I’m thinking her name is Gloria.”

No.

“G.”

No, Bobby.

“L.”

Stop it. Her name is not Gloria. She sang Gloria.

“Ah. Then it’s Laura Branigan.”

No, the other Gloria.

“Ah. Then Van Morrison has lost a lot of weight.”

That’s Patti Smith, Bobby.

“Was she a punker? With, uh, the ripped shirts and middle fingers?”

Kinda.

“I admired that genre’s effervescence.”

Sure. And the guy on the end?

…

…

…

“I’m just gonna be honest: no idea.”

Eric Burdon from The Animals.

“Good for him.”
