One time he was trying to get the audience to count off 1-2-3-4 and he'd come in after 10 measures (I don't know what I'm talking about) so the room went
One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two! Three! Four! One! Two! Three! Four! ——

and he's all "No, no no it's 1234123412341234123412341234123412341234" 
 
and we were all WTF who can even talk that fast?

Harry Nilsson: Jump Into the Fire

Just listening to the old classic, and...  really, gotta go to Paul McCartney (much as I wanna puke when I hear his solo stuff) on the Beatles' Come Together.
Give it a listen again and you'll hear.

Michael Davis, bassist for MC5 died at Enloe Medical Center in Chico, Calif., on Friday afternoon, Feb 19, 2012, after a month-long hospitalization for liver disease. He was 68 years old.
 
Michael and his wife of many years, Angela, were friends of my son.

Yeah, they were pretty obscure, all right. I'm not even sure how Chris heard of them....maybe they played that one song on the radio back in the 70s (it came out circa 74 or 75).
 
I had to email him a couple of months ago to find out who the artist was, because all I remembered was the song and title.

How had I never heard of Babe Ruth before? That was a great song! Love the other two also.

I heard a LOT of bass lines when my brother used to sit in his room and play along with music we couldn't hear in his headphones. Later, I learned that they were these songs (and a few others I can't think of right now...).
