Wilburys

ROCKSTAR (LIFE) UPDATE:

<jumping in mid conversation, about if there is any chance of me finding a girlfriend….>

ME: Mom, I think I need to join “Wyld Stallyns”.

MOM:  Why don’t you join the Travelling Wilburys?

ME:  I think they’re all dead, mom.

MOM:  Really, I guess… Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan… yeah maybe.

ME:  And I don’t think we could exactly fill their shoes.

MOM:  No Mikey, you’re probably right.

ME:  But what about Wyld Stallyns?

MOM:  Mikey, I don’t even know who they are.

ME:  Bill and Ted.  From Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

MOM:   Ooooohhhhhh, mikey… oooohhhhhhhh, are they alive?

ME:  Yes! They’re making a new movie!  Bill and Ted 3!

MOM:  Yeah?  But are they the same actors?

ME:  Yeah, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter!  And Bill and Ted, when they started out, they were worse than us.  You know Bill and Ted, right?

MOM:  Yeah..

ME: Well they were worse than Damen and I, and their music saves the world.  It does!

MOM:  But Mikey, you’re trying all these attempts at stardom and. I don’t know.  I think the Traveling Wilburys are a better bet.

ME:  They might not let us in.

MOM:  Where?

ME:  Into The Traveling Wilburys.

MOM:  Oh, okay.  Well have you tried to get in?  No.

ME:  No… Okay.  Well if any of them are alive, I’ll give them a call.

MOM:  Well you should try.  What about that old guy.  You know, the one with the long braids, the really old guy.  He’s a country singer, you know…  Old man…

ME:  Willie Nelson was never with them?

MOM:  Ohh, I have the wrong band totally.

ME:  Yup.  Summer’s almost over, and Damen and I didn’t play once.

MOM:  Yeah, well there you go.  Your practice schedule sucks.  You’re never gonna make it.

ME:  Yeah, I don’t know what’s happening, I think the band is done.

MOM:  Yeah, maybe.  Your farewell tour…

ME:  We never had our farewell tour.

MOM:  You’ll die before your farewell tour.

ME:  I know.  We were supposed to have it this summer.

MOM:  What is Luler doing??

ME:  I don’t know.

MOM:  Luler, what is wrong with this grass?

ME:  But seriously, I think I need to quit my job and get back to focusing on the band.

MOM:  Oh my god No!  You finally finally get a real job.  No.  It took you long enough. No.
