Been really enjoying Stephen Lynch lately. I’ve started working on some piano arrangements of a couple of his tunes, including this one.
This commercial is actually pretty funny…
A few weeks ago I was in the Guitar Center in Hollywood, jamming out on a Martin S-O Ukulele, when these two axehead asshats walked by, regarding me with mocking derision. One of them said to me in a high-pitched squeal, pinkies pointed, “Rock out, old man” while his friend laughed…
But the laughter only lingered for a moment…
For I, Johnny Diggz, responded to his jibe by commencing the sweetest two-handed tapping flourish either of these man-children had ever seen, even in their dreams. They were speechless, mouths swung open like carp. When I finished I simply threw the Uke to the nearest sales rep and walked out the door, feeling triumphant.
Just kidding; Here’s what ACTUALLY happened:
I smashed the Martin S-O Uke over the first dude’s head, knocking him unconscious, and with a two-fisted downward motion I thrust the remaining jagged, solid-mahogany neck and dovetail joint deep into the eye socket of his laughing friend, screaming, “UKES ROCK!”
Now I am in prison, awaiting trial. At least I have my principles.
Via my friend Matt…The comedy duo just can’t help but make you smile, Laurel and Hardy from the film “Way Out West” mashed up with the song “Party Train” from The Gap Band.
