You know my drummer Liberty DeVitto? He has this band called The Fun(k) Club. They do
this jazzy funky pop music. It’s like my stuff but better, that’s what my fans tell me.
So now I have this competition at my concerts. I look at the audience and they’re wearing
Fun(k) Club t-shirts and when I introduce Liberty, they go nuts and shout "Liberty rules". One
night the other Fun(k) Club guys were in the audience and the crowd got so rambunctious that I
had to let them come on and do a 45 minute set! Right in the middle of my own gig! I actually
walked out to the middle of the floor section, stood up on a chair and said "hey what about me?"
But everyone was so mesmerized by the Fun(k) Club they didn’t notice I was there! Except for
one guy who chucked a potato at me and told me to shut up and enjoy the music.
So after the show I said "Hey Lib, you’ve got a cool band, can I join?"
But he said that they weren’t in need of a cow bell player. *sigh* I need to find myself a new
gig. Maybe Van Halen needs a lead singer again. Or I’ll have to call up Metallica and see if
they’ve found a bass player yet. There’s gotta be something else I can do. That Billy Joel guy is
really holding me back.
