 Smiley Segment 5:  "Wha--Ooh"

     Dennis scurried by without uttering another sound. He retreated to the rear of the plane where a case of Heineken was kept on ice in a plastic bucket for the roadies to enjoy.  Dennis felt comfortable hanging with the road crew since those guys would always fuss over him and tell him he was the greatest...  Not a word was said about what just happened.
     The tour went on without a hitch  (even though Brian was getting tired and was anxious to get off the road and back home) until Dennis showed up drunk at one of the shows and approached the center stage microphone to greet the fans.  He made the boneheaded mistake of yelling out, "Hello, Chicago!" This faux pas was met with head scratching and boos until he realized his error.  He was too drunk to remember what city he was actually in, so he apologized to the audience by saying, "It's been a long tour."  An agitated fan yelled out, "Don't trip and fall on your drunk ass!"  Dennis then flipped off the fan and shouted, "You're lucky I don't come out there and kick your ass!"
     Levelheaded Carl succeeded in getting Dennis to retreat to his drums, which he did, but not before tripping again and falling into the high hat cymbal, knocking it over.  There was a loud crash, boom and bang.  Carl tried to cover for Dennis by saying, "Don't mind Dennis.  He went surfing today and his board hit him in the head."  Someone in the audience wasn't buying Carl's feeble explanation and yelled back, "Where did he go surfing, in a bathtub full of booze?"  Laughter erupted as well as a degrading thunder of boos.
     Dennis was now fuming and shouted obscenities at the crowd.  When he fell over backwards off his stool, that got a rip-roaring round of applause and some witty fan shouted out, "Yeah, Dennis, way to ride that wave!"  Brian surprised everyone when he stepped in and counted down 1-2... a 1-2-3 and the concert got underway.  This concert, however, began with "Surfer Girl" because that song doesn't necessarily require drums to make it work.  The set list had to modified on the spot to accommodate Dennis' precarious state and give the roadies time to reconfigure the drums.  Brian's quick thinking saved the show.
     The band traveled to Chicago the following day where Stan and I took Brian for a walk on Rush Street, a major music club hub in the downtown area. Brian persuaded his handlers to stop in a jazz bar because, he said, the band playing sounded "really great!"  This was a ruse.  What Brian really wanted was a grasshopper.  No sooner had we grabbed seats at the bar when Brian pleaded with us to let him have one, saying that he deserved a reward for having saved last night's show.
     The guy sitting next to Brian said, "Yeah, let him have one.  I'm buying!" Several people were now looking over and waiting with anticipation to see what would happen next, including the bartender, when Stan announced, "Yeah, sure.  Why not? (Neither one of us wanted to look like bad guys.)   Brian did a great show last night, but we have another show tonight... so just one, barkeep."  The bartender made a big pour.  We looked at each other apprehensively and ordered beers for ourselves.
     Brian chugged his down in nothing flat and said to the bartender, eying the blender, "Can I have what's left?" The affable bartender refilled Brian's glass without even looking at us.  Brian chugged that one down too.  Brian sat there with his eyes squinted shut.  A few minutes later the guy seated next to Brian said, "Are you alright?"  Brian just nodded his head up and down.  The guy extended his right hand and introduced himself as Ralph, whereupon Brian threw up all over the guy's shoes!  It happened so fast and was so unexpected, the guy didn't have a chance to dodge the stream of green frothy extract but did manage to say good-humoredly, with a smile, "My name is Ralph, but I've never been ralphed on!"  Stan apologized to the poor guy.  I asked the bartender for a rag soaked in club soda and wiped the guy's shoes off.  While I did this, the guy said, "It's all right.  I never liked these shoes anyway.  Besides, now I can tell my friends that a Beach Boy ralphed on me!"  We got Brian out of there after buying Ralph another beer and picking up his tab.

I give you full credit! Thanks! I don't think it's a mess, it's really fun, actually. Of course there are different kinds of fun.

But I have a feeling this thread is dying and we're keeping it artificially alive.

I think at this point we may need belatedly to concede that those questions must actually have been significant after all.

It IS getting quiet, but we haven't heard the Mike Love expose' passages yet. When that occurs, Fille de Plage and Cameron will get all jiggy-wit-it!

Smiley Anybody who thought I was talking about Brian's VOICE... as the WHINY ASS PINCHED NOSE VOICE is out of their mind! That could only be ONE person! And for the person who said they heard I MOCKED Brian's voice... YOU'RE LYING! I love Brian's VOICE!  Someone can't read...  LOL LOL
I see you edited out the "girly" from the original comment when you added this comment Rocky. Nice try but too late.

 Smiley Oregon River Rider:  I am replying to your personal e-mail request for a GOOD Mike story to inform you that the next segment of "Wha--Ooh" will be not only a "GOOD" Mike story... but it will be a "GREAT" Mike story... "THE MOST REVEALING"  Mike story ANY of YOU have EVER HEARD!   This ACTUAL OCCURRENCE  will MAKE CLEAR ALL SPECULATION  and CONTROVERSY about "HOW BRIAN REALLY FEELS ABOUT MIKE."  So hold on to your hats... and BRACE YOURSELVES!  There are many WITNESSES to this BACKSTAGE REVELATION, people who were actually in the "VIP" PRIVATE secluded area at the time!  There are also TWO other accompanying scenes... "ONE" took place 1/2 hour before the HIGHLY VISIBLE "MAIN EVENT"... and the "2nd"...FOLLOW-UP EXPLOSION occurred just minutes "LATER!"  The LATTER, more spectacular "HEAVYWEIGHT EVENT," is my favorite scene in the entire book!!! Smiley Smiley

I immediately thought that you were referring to what some people thought Brian's voice sounded like (and that he could be embarrassed by it. I'd never heard Mike's voice referred to as "girly." Nasally? For sure.

Also, in no way did it seem that you thought Brian's voice was girly.

Oh, right. Because when Rocky uses quotation marks, he's actually using them to quote someone. Forgot.

"HOW BRIAN REALLY FEELS ABOUT MIKE

Just for the same of context Rocky, are you referring to how Brian feels about Mike today, or how he felt about him for a few hours 45 years ago? Can't wait to read the tale.
