Well, it looks like a lot of my close personal friends are going to be dropping in on me today.
In fact, my good pal Tom Patey just showed up.
Hey, Tom, how you doing?
Thanks for dropping by.
I'm proud to be here, you know.
Pleased to be here.
I've been trying to call you for weeks, and you're never home, and your answering machine just beeps.
I don't have [Bb] any message.
We really go back a long way together, don't we?
You remember that trip we played on Prince at the Video Music Awards,
when we cut those big holes out of the feet of his pants?
I don't know when I've enjoyed myself so immensely.
Or when we held down Sinead O'Connor and shaved off all her hair?
But I don't know when I've had so much fun.
And remember when we did the thing and he took it away and cut the thing off?
What?
Oh, those were fun times.
You know, Tom, you've been rocking and rolling even longer than I have.
How much of your brain do you think has turned to cottage cheese by now?
99%.
I'd bet.
Yeah, I'm only up to 75% myself.
You know, one thing I've always wanted to ask you, what was it like being born?
I don't remember.
Oh, what a cop-out.
Okay, if you're not going to tell us that, explain the principles of quantum mechanics.
[Db] If you want me to explain it or give you some reason for it, it's just, I'd be [D] hard [Eb]-pressed to do that.
It's just nonsense.
Well, then maybe you could explain this.
I've heard some pretty kinky rumors about you.
For instance, I've heard that you dress up your roadies like Girl Scouts
and make them run around your backyard [E] barking like dogs.
[D] I do.
I go out and watch them every [Eb] night.
Really?
That's hard to believe.
They borrowed a dress from my wife just the other night.
[G] I also heard that you and the guys in the Heartbreakers recently got together
and gave each other butterscotch enemas.
[Ab]
It's been a long [Db] time since we've done [C] that, and it was good for [Gb] us.
You liked it?
I think I'm enjoying it more than I [D] have in the past in [G] some ways.
Why don't you and the guys, I don't know, go bowling instead?
It's just not as much fun.
Well, next time you're doing that, could I [F] watch?
You'll have to ask [Eb] them about that.
Okay, wait a minute.
I've got a joke for you.
A Jew, a lesbian, and Lawrence Welk go into a bar.
You can't make jokes about [D] Lawrence Welk.
Oh, sorry.
Tom, this probably isn't the time or place, but since you're here, I'll ask.
Next week I'm throwing a surprise birthday party for my pet hamster,
and I was kind of wondering if you and the guys would put on a show for him.
My vote would be no.
Oh, you think [Db] it's unlikely, huh?
Very unlikely.
Let me get this straight.
You're telling me that you think it's very unlikely?
I think it's very unlikely.
Well, why won't you do a concert at my house?
I can't afford it.
I'll pay you five bucks.
No, no, no.
Five bucks and a bag of donuts.
You know, it's still pretty lousy.
Five bucks, a bag of donuts, and a butterscotch enema.
Really?
Oh, I give up.
I just want you to know that you're breaking a young hamster's heart,
and refugee is his favorite song.
[N] Could you at least wave to him?
Harvey, look!
Tom Petty is waving to you!
Wow!
Oh, thanks, Tom.
You're really an okay guy.
You know, I was just wondering, um, have you had a chance to listen to my new album yet?
Yeah.
Well?
What did you think?
God, it's boring.
I mean, it's really, really boring.
Okay, well, thanks for dropping by, Tom.
We really got to
It's bullsh**.
It sounds awful, you know?
Yeah, Tom, okay, we get the point.
It's the best I could do.
I don't think that's sad.
Well, it looks like we're all out of time.
Thanks for dropping by, Tom.
You're a really good sport.
