The Trouble with GI Joe


Everyone says we're really lucky when we can have GI Joe on a gig. They ask, "What could possibly go wrong with Joe around? He's a top-flight, first-rate crew member. He keeps Larry occupied (i.e., not showing off his salsa dance skills to the ladies) by killing the power at random points in the show. He's right there at the bar whenever you need refreshment and even risks his own life making sure every drink is tasty, free of poison, and not overly full. He takes off his pants after being told only once. He keeps the waitresses out of your way while you're humping gear. He's a fun-loving, great looking guy, a tremendously talented musician, and a fabulous driver. So how come you can't bring Joe all the time?"

The trouble with GI Joe is he makes us look fat.

He happens to have been for helpful at giving the band very short breaks. He has a technique for putting noises at rest. It involves power and tripping.

He acts so 70's though. Just check him out on the front of this blog. That's the kind of shit he pulls all the time. Knocking out power and doing disco moves with his pants off. How old school is that. We need an 80's vibe out of him.

Dude!
It's called working the room! GI Joe has priorities, and around here we spell that L-A-D-I-E-S. We don't need an 80s vibe from him! Joe's the perfect roadie, tripping over power cables and all. I only ask that when he jumps onto the stage from out of nowhere, he not stand so close to me and get me all distracted with his stylish briefs and make me look fat.

Hey Jaybriel,
You're a guy, right? Who do you think is a better dancer - Larry with the moves or Joe with the pants around his ankles?
