  2. It being exactly the compendium of "what people think", at that point this was the epitome of cool.

    400 years later, this guy would have worn a black turtleneck and leather jacket, and been jumping a green fastback Mustang through the streets of San Francisco.

  8. As a former musician, having traveled The United States in many bands, performing and playing atrocities to good taste, I can feel this guy's pain.

    It was a paying gig.

  11. He can make you love
    He can get you high
    He will bring you down
    Then he'll make you cry
    Somethin' keeps him movin'
    But no one seems to know
    What it is that makes him go

  12. He was only cool because Leo and Les hadn't been born, yet. 'em boys changed EVERYTHING, for the better.

  13. On another note (see what I did there?) I wonder if he ever had some asshole with a few too many meads in him shout "FREEEEEEEEEEEBIRD!!!!!!!" at him between songs.

    1. It's funnier at a Renn faire.
      Funnier still when the guy on an actual hurdy-gurdy starts to play it. ;)
