Hooker

.......da-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
........."goodevening everybody...we're HOOKER and you're not....We're young
We're tuff We're good-lookin....and WE're gonna play YOU- some KIKK ASS...!"says
electric man Rob-Honey into his microphone.

The Band(Hooker...we're the guys on the stage....playin'LOUD) ..the band ANSWERS BACK, after he says, "Kikk-Ass"...with a "gaaaaan-gaaaaan!!"

.....silence
...then guitarist David 'Howlin'-Howland "the Ice-Man"..says,
"He said KIKK-ASS"....band goes......"gaaaaan-gaaaaan!!"

.....silence
.....bassist extraordinaire', Robbie Hodge...says, in a silly Texas accent,
"they saaaaa-yad KIKK-AAA-YASSSS"..."gaaaaaan-gaaaaan!!"

....longer pause...(my turn...), "...KIKK.....................ASS"
gaaaaaaaan-....................gaaaaaaan!!

band screams, "Rock and RooooooooooooooooooooooooooLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!"

...and we launch into our very energetic and unique show (#who knows)...in our
12 year run of Musical madness and TRUE stories SO UNBELIEVABLE...that you would have had to have been THERE, personally...to believe such things.(and ALL the things that happened...happened WITH or in front of people THERE. If you read this and catch one...you WILL remember!!)
We had a RULE...you see.....nobody got to even-TELL a story about what happened, a minute ago..or last night----WITHOUT a WITNESS. Afore mentioned witness,
must be within the circle of known truth-tellers. (for example..road crew members
don't count ..until they've been TESTED thru fire and ice. ...for all who knoweth of them....knoweth that they be O so full of B.S. a-men)

.....IN FACT...not even newer trusted wives or close friends, who hadn't seen enough to KNOW ALREADY...could REALLY BE.... be-leeeevin'
most of these...a-hem...tall-tales of rock n roll-past..

UNTILL......
years later....

a large group of us, from all over the country...were aboard a DC-10,
bound for Florida-------and a surprise birthday party for Robbie's 50th and REUNION for the band, (Hooker...how could you forget THAT name already??)

We- have half the cheap-seats-cabin, turned or LEANED over...splitting their sides
listening to us...re-accounting stories...one right after the other.....

About an hour into it....
Robert's wife says, "Goddam!!....That's AMAZING....all
these years I was thinkin all that shit, he (Robert)was tellin me, couldn't possibly be true. And I just heard all of 'em back.........WORD FOR WORD !!!"
