G
Good evening.
It's a weird vibe.
Some of you are eating food.
You'll be masticating.
Well, I'll be doing that something
that sounds almost
like masticating.
Did you catch that?
Are you You OK with that?
Well, thank you for coming.
This is kind of this experi

A
your favorite American boy, here.
I'm an American classic.
Admit it. Admit it. You like me.
You love me unconditionally.
You kind of do.
Because for all my
inherent fucked upness,
I'm OK.
I'm like a New York mugger.
I telegraph everything I'm gonna do
if you get mugged by me.
I should have your watch
You know, so if I if I piss you off,
you should have seen it coming
20 minutes ago and left already,
you know, so
Anyway, the concept is that I'll be
here every Wednesday this month
Just trying to do
something different every week
and it's gonna be like 10

And I'm wondering

Because you're huge
and everyone wants to see you.
Hey, right on.
We should all have so much of
a failure in our lives.

and you can go anywhere.
A guy like Sting can tour anywhere
he can plug in
because everyone wants to see the guy.
And if you're really broke,
You have to do, like, eight shows
a day just to eat.

G
And that was the bag I was in in 87.
So I was in Europe for months going,
Can I have a show?
Can I have dinner?
Yes, you can have dinner
if you'll go up on stage.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I was, like, hand -to -mouthing
it across the continent.
ever did on his stage
was I read this page of Journal about this,
that I just endured
and kind of triumphed over,
and I wanted to read that
page of Journal for you.

stage to me is oh so lame.
