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.
