| OK I have a Phone story.....
Ready??????
Not sure what you'll think but I still laugh about it from time to time.
I have a friend who I still play some music with from time to time but when we were younger we spent every free hour together. (20-21) We were in a Band and having the time of our lives. He had one weakness though.....He had a girlfriend he was right down the tunnel in love with and She, after dating him since junior high, decided to leave him for a guy who had money. Yep! I say it because She actually told me this one night... Anyway to keep on topic My buddy used to Call her constantly. We knew he was sneeking off to still see her when she would allow it. No way to stop the guy he was just "Gone" ya know. Anyway This "Bitch" eventually started calling him at home if he did not call that day. She was playing games with him and he was foolish enough, even with our constant support and trying to fix him up with dates, TO keep playing her game... This went on for three or four months solid non-stop, every dam day... and he was totally destroyed from lack of sleep. He used to sleep in the Truck some nights when a Gig was done and stay away from the telephone. Only time he would sleep. Never seen anyone live on no sleep like he did back then . I'll bet he aged five years those months..
We went to Pick Him up one morning to head to the Music Store in Albany called Drome Sound we had some new super PA equipment there we had on layaway and were going to all go and haul it back. Well, while waiting for him in the living room of his parents large victorian home, after his mother had gone up the stairs to wake him to let him know we were waiting..all this after he had been out with us most of the previous night. The Phone Rings.........................
No one in the home is getting up to get it.........The Phone is still ringing..................His Father is reading the Paper in his big Chair.....................His Older Sister is watching something on TV in the Living room with us...................... His Mother has gone back into the Kitchen adjacent to the living room with clear view of us all................He has a younger brother who is sitting at the Kitchen Table and eating a bowl of wheaties and watching the TV in the Living room where three of us are standing and waiting..........we are all still a little hung over... With the phone still ringing off the hook on it's little stand at the bottom of the stairs in front of the large arched doorway that leads to the Living room where everyone is now focused on Jeff who at the moment is totally naked........hair sticking straight up on one side............he has an obligatory pack of cigaretts in his hand.... he does not look totally alive.............
Well without hesitation he walks right over to the little phone on it's fancy little victorian stand and he grabs his pisser and completely fire hoses this poor old black dial, heavy plastic, tormenter of his!..... Well let me tell ya that was a Norman Rockwell moment right their sports fans!
Junior was "open mouthed" and stopped in mid spoon full. His Father was peaking around his newspaper........His Mother was the only one in motion haeded up the stairs to find his pants.....HIs sister was screaming at him and we were all wishing we could just get to the door without waking Jeff up. We knew he'd be so embarrassed when he woke up and realized what he had done.
Needless to say....... we waited for him outside for a while and he came out all showered and dressed. Did not say a thing........ Just hopped in the bench seat we had fixed up behind the cab.... lit a cigarette and we we started the truck and headed to the Store. He ended the thing with her that day though. and I did notice a nice new phone and stand at the bottom of the stairs latter that week in his home. Wow talk about runnning yourself out to the end....
His Girlfriend, several years ago, was divirced from the guy She was after and She cleaned him out......She died of Cancer last year. No loss really.

A: "Can I use your Dictaphone?"
B: "No! Use your finger like everyone else!"
I don't think I'll ever quote it again. |

but perhaps this explains a line in PF's "Hey You":
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me? |

| Yep we used to do ths Floyd back in that band day. JEff has a great sense of humor and still laughs at this story although he has no living memory of it! He was strung out to the point that he was sleepwalking and that phone was his tormentor! He solved a whole bunch of problems that morning though.
And his Mom got that new phone Jeff's dad never wanted to buy.
Sorry about the crazy stories but it was Naked as well as Phone related, I just could not resisit!
