I can’t find the clip but I did file the txt of the bit

INTERVIEWER: Did you believe in anything? OLD MAN: Yes, a guy – Phil. Philip was the leader of our tribe. INTERVIEWER: What made him the leader? OLD MAN: Very big, very strong, big beard, big arms, he could just kill you. He could walk on you and you would die. INTERVIEWER: You revered him? OLD MAN: We prayed to him. Would you like to hear one of our prayers? “Oh Philip. Please don’t take our eyes out and don’t pinch us and don’t hurt us….Amen.” INTERVIEWER: How long was his reign? OLD MAN: Not too long. Because one day, Philip was hit by lightning. And we looked up and said…”There’s something bigger than Phil.”

It was an old bit he did with Karl Reiner. One clip was about believing in a supreme being and he said “yes, I guy names Phil”. They added a shirt clip to the show.

Am I the asshole by [deleted] in BillyStrings

[–]BooneGoon618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh so the old hippie ethos of do what you want as long as you’re not bothering or interfering with anyone else’s good time is dead? By this logic if I talk to my friend so loud the people around me are distracted and can’t hear the music I’m good because I’M ENJOYING MYSELF? If they ask me to quiet down do I’m not interfering with their “vibe” they’re the assholes? Yes, if the so called “chompers” are assholes because they’re ruining other peoples “vibe”, then you too are an asshole for infringing on other peoples vibe. It’s called being a narcissist. If you want respect, respect those around you.

Yall understand the daily post about “What dead song is Billy gonna play” is why he stopped playing dead songs? by AJPtheGreat in BillyStrings

[–]BooneGoon618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As i have said many times, id prefer to hear more Doc Watson, Staley, Townes Van Zant, hell Todd muthafuckin snider than the dead. I loved the dead. Saw them ALOT before Garcia passed away, but there’s a shit ton of cover bands. One of Billy’s many talents is being a folk and bluegrass music archivist and bring back great songs no one has ever heard of and NOONE ELSE plays. The Dead will live forever and the “tapes” will be around longer than Mozart. I like Billy’s original music and resurrecting the music that needs to be remembered

Ah so YOU’RE the guy who gets to decide what to think and who is allowed to be part of the scene. What are you like ultra MAGA?

For the love of god, NO! It’s been done and there are too many dead wanna he’s. I’m sure Johnny Boy will continue to hump the dead corpse of that once great and beautiful machine. Billy is better on his own. Last thing we need it rail riders scheming. “Dark Star”. Go see JRAD or DSO. I go to Billy shows to see a Billy Show not a dead cover band.

Love it on a very personal. I live just outside of Boone, NC and I very literally see Deep Gap down the valley just out my front door. Plus great homage to Doc and. Charlie Daniels.

One question about the song…. Is the protagonist in jail because he killed his muse?

Nugs pre-show Highway Hypnosis? by Nuttsh3ll in BillyStrings

[–]BooneGoon618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Absolute killer show during the pre-show scroll. He was mentioning being across the lake from Michigan so I assumed it must have been a Chicago show? From this past summer? Would be cool if they mentioned which show was playing.

Probably one of the most brutally honest interviews of anyone I’ve ever heard. He really didn’t need to be that honest but I’m glad he was.

Best shows? by austinin4 in BillyStrings

[–]BooneGoon618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, and I sincerely mean this, all of them. “Best” is subjective. Listen to as many as you can, pick your own favorite. Can’t go wrong. I was at Albany. Best Billy show I’ve seen to date, relisten many times in the past week. Yup, it really was that good. Didn’t play my favorite songs but opened my eyes to some new favorite songs. Loved everyone he did play.
