Yes sir. Lotsa bass playa's died in recent decades. John Empwissel o
Docta Who died with postertute"s an cocaine.

I Mista Charlie feel these men shoulda taken counsel from Sean....both
in how to play bass and how to live proppa. Is it any coincidence that
Sean came from Yoke?

Now some say Sean is homersexual, having been trained in that
lifestyle by Mince an Muchael jackson. But rest assured he will libba
long life an suppotin the ole Yoke, remindrin the world what it ean's
to be a REAL john lennons fan....ALWAYS AGREEIN WID DA YOKE!!!

MISTER CHARLIE (Grateful Dead)



I take a little powder, take a little salt, put it in my shotgun, I go
walkin'
Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, mister charlie told me so.

I won't even take your life, won't even take a limb,
Just unload my shotgun, take a little skin.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, mister charlie told me so.

Well you take my silver dollar, take those silver dimes,
Fix it up together in some alligator wine.
I can hear the drums, voodoo all night long,
Mister charlie tells me I can't do nothing wrong.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, mister charlie told me so.

Now mister charlie told me, won't you like to know,
Give you little warning before I let you go.
Jubba jubba, wolly bully, looking high, looking low,
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, mister charlie told me so.
Gonna scare you up and shoot ya, mister charlie, mister charlie told me so.

P-Dub: It's about Charlie Manson

Bass players are targetted by society for low self-worth because a bass
guitar is the most perfect instrument in the eyes of PLUTO.

Most depictions of the River Styx do not capture the loud Bass Guitar
playing Throwing Muses that hangs over it.

I guess the musical questions here are; What is it about playing bass that
somehow doesn't befall those musicians who play something else, and why?

And does playing manual bass on keybaords 'qualify'? Because I often do the
'Ray Manzarek thing' and play manual bass on keys.

everybody cuts when they cover that song

Scott Walker (Engels) could have had a career as a session bass player.
He apparently was working as one at a young age.
I don't know if that is relevant but I wanted to bring it up.
