Photo evidence:
As I stated elsewhere, if the rapture really does happen, we want Pig Pen and Lowell George back. Otherwise, just leave us alone.
And yes, we are listening to Little Feat. Isn’t that what everyone does at 2 am?

you’re weird, Cole.
That is all.
Except, I WANT that doggie.

That looks more like photo evidence of dog in lap on lazy boy. There’s not enough man in the picture to be sure how fat he is. ETA: Besides, how do we know it’s really a lazy boy? It could be a couch for all we can tell from that picture. And there’s no actual evidence that the person in the picture is a man, is there? Or even that it’s a person and not a carefully constructed mannequin. Your evidence sucks, Cole.

Well the teabaggers have decided to skip the countertops and go straight to threatening to rape the 16 year old who had the gall to challenge Bachmann to a debate.

Yeah, pretty much. Maybe some Allman Brothers.

Is this a post about the Manhattan Project?
No, but I can see how you would think that.
Is it cute down to the atomic level?
Kinda.
Again we see the Zuckerberg sandals. Doesn’t anybody watch TV barefoot anymore?

Lilly lying on the Cole belly is like those ships sailing over the horizon, proving the curvature of the earth.

@Joseph Nobles:
I think you’re really talking about the effects of gravitational lensing. Where’s Tunch at? Sorry, lemme narrow it down. Where isn’t Tunch?

I tend to wait til 3 A.M. or so myself.

Or maybe Wet Willie.

Fat Man and Little Dog?
Fat Man and Little Feat?
Title needs more Manhattan Project.
ETA I see freelancer beat me there.

I have those same sandals by the back door. They’re easy to scrape dog bombs off of after I go out in the yard.
I’m sitting up with my wife and we’re pissing and moaning about our ridiculous jobs. one or both of us will probably be doing something else for work, and be happier, before summer arrives in Michigan. I know I shouldn’t but I hope it’s me.

Ain’t nothin’ little about them feet, Cole, butt-ugly sandals or not.
Gotta admit though, feeling little puppy lungs breathing on your stomach in time to the music is frakin’ awesome, Rapture or not.

Okay, Les Dudek. That completes my mini-tour of old-school Southern rock for the evening.

When the blog host posts at 2am (after sharing cocktail pics) with glimpses of his Adidas or Adidas-like slip-ons, I can’t help but thank the Insomniac Gods for the mighty intertubes.
Gonna go listen to Anita Baker’s “Rapture” now.

@sloan:
I hope not. Or else we have more proof why Cole is a bachelor: terrible taste in decor.

Why Pig Pen and not Jerry? Can’t have the group without him.

Some of us listen to Coltrane at 2 a.m.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

“Isn’t that what everyone does at 2 am?”
Nope. I just finished pulling the cylinders off of my motorcycle at 3 am here on the Left Coast. I’m listening to Adult Swim on my garage TV while inspecting everything prior to cleaning for reassembly. So far so good! I’ve put about 23,000 miles on it since reboring the cylinders back in 2005 and they still have the crosshatching from honing on them! Pistons look good, the ring gaps are well within spec and the valves are in great shape.
I had to pull it apart because it developed a small oil leak around the timing chain area, which turned out to be an O ring that got brittle from heat, cracked and allowed a small amount of oil to seep out around a head stud (non pressure leak). I’ll reassemble it with a new O ring and a special sealant to make sure that there is no repeat performance. It was really a small leak, like maybe a teaspoon every thousand miles, but I hate oil leaks! This thing isn’t a Harley and I don’t want it leaving spots everywhere like one…lol!
Time to clean up the work area to get ready for parts cleaning tomorrow. I’m using the repair as a chance to teach the son about four stroke engines and he’s really enjoying it.

Pig Pen? He died a week before I saw the Dead for the first time in 1974. Personally, I’d rather have Keith Godchaux and/or Vince Welnick back.
I saw Feat with Lowell in 1978, shortly before he died. Great show and I love most of what he did in his life, including his contribution to Robert Palmer’s excellent “Sneaking Sally” album. Saw an interview with Bill Payne and it sounded like they really resented the fact that Lowell’s instability prevented the band from achieving real superstardom.

So do we also get a shot of a fatman in the bathtub with the blues?
The Golux
I saw Little Feat with Lowell three times, then Lowell’s solo show (supporting “Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here”) one week before he died.
“Two degrees in bebop,
A Ph.D in swing
He’s the master of rhythm
He’s the rock’n’roll king.”
Indeed.
@RosiesDad: Seconded on the Robert Palmer LP.

@BDeevDad:
Grrrr.
Would it be unQuakerly of me to call for an all out new civil war?
WaterGirl
@BDeevDad: @Svensker: Mind boggling. On so many levels. Not the least of which is how anyone who is not evil would threaten anyone with rape. And these people call themselves christian?

@COB:
I was having a nice bacon and egg brekkie, ya know, with locally grown handmade bacon and local eggs, and I don’t wanna be thinkin’ about no bathtub stunts, thankyewverymuch.

@Roger Moore:
I see a well-rounded knee. Also two sets of toes, so it’s quite a portrait all in all. I’m saving it in the special folder for when I build my John Cole/Frankenstein. Eventually he’ll inadvertently reveal all body parts in various photos, then I’ll stitch them together in photoshop and send it to TMZ… :P

@Odie Hugh Manatee:
Heh. Stay away from Triumphs and BSAs then. Those wacky Brits chose to split the crankcase vertically instead of horizontally and seal it with a paper gasket. There was no way you could keep the oil in those things.
Kilgore Trout
If we’re getting Pig Pen we need Jerry too, think of it as a matched set.
RossInDetroit
Lowell George’s daughter Inara has an amazing voice and a band called The Bird and the Bee.
Tim, Interrupted
That DOES appear to be a rather rotund knee.
Love the way Lills has her little legs curled back on themselves. My doggie Helen, who has looooong legs for days, does the same thing: Curls them up like a fawn.
CUTE!
Raenelle
The Dead were so much better, IMO, after Pigpen died. I hope I never have to listen to Turn on Your Lovelight again, 18 minutes that never seemed to end, 18 minutes that never seemed to change. Pigpen was OK at first, I guess, but he never progressed. The same songs, the same way, on and on. It all just seemed so self-indulgent and so stuck.
How about we substitute Gram Parsons for Pigpen.

RIP Ritchie Hayward. You are missed.

Someone opened up the closet door
And out stepped John G. Cole
Playing guitar like a ringing a bell
And looking like he should
You gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lot of luck
But if challenges were all I sang
I’d rather drive a truck
(It’s 1:26 AM on the East Coast, and I calmed down)
