No comment...about storming out of the Grammys anyway...

You're going to think I'm making this up, but I swear it's true. Two weeks ago, I was consoling my Peruvian friend Ugo who had just been fired from his hospital job where he had been working for years...a 'meth' head had gone bananas and was trashing the place and assaulting the doctors who were working on him. Ugo tried to subdue him by calmly talking to him...the guy punched Ugo and Ugo punched him back...then they all held the guy down and the cops came and arrested Mr. Meth...but the Personnel Dept. didn't see things rationally and abruptly fired my buddy...

Anyway, Ugo's a very good musician...he can play many instruments well, including drums. He also has quite a prominent nose, as well as a name that's reminiscent of that Beatles guy. I told him about seeing a jazz drummer friend of mine recently; she was playing with an amazing guitarist who bore an uncanny resemblance to George Harrison. Then there's me with the little round glasses...well, we decided we should put a Beatles band together, but where to find a left-handed bassist who's a pain in the ***? We thought about it for a while, then decided we could just do it as a three piece. We even came up with a name:

"Paul's Dead"

(See, I told you you wouldn't believe me...but I swear it's the truth...)
I didn't get where I am today by being on time...

Hey Dane, I'll play bass. I'm not a lefty but I'm a pain in the ***.

I look like Paul, after the nuclear blast.
I'm just happy to be here.

What the hell, I'll play bass...this 'George' guy sounds like two guitar players at once, anyway.

John Lennon with a Jetglo fretless 4001....hmmm, that's....'different'.

Okay, okay... no problem... but i'd suggest "No need for Paul" would sound more... eh... respectful...

Yeah, but 'Paul's Dead' is so historically hysterical!

Okay, I'll think it over...how about: "Mister, can we have our Paul back?"
