One of the most bothersome things I know of is harrassing phone calls.
Ther is one that I can expect, regular as clockwork. Once a month, about this time of month, it comes. It came last evening.
Bob Dylan gets drunk, finds an old friend and calls me. This month, his old friend is Clint Eastwood. They were both sloppy, greass-grabbibg, ass-slapping drunk.
It is hard to understand Dylan's speech even when he is sober. When he is drunk, it is nearly impossible. It is hard to follow his train of thought when he is sober. He has none when he is drunk.
Clint is almost as bad.
Finally, after an hour, I understood what they were trying to say. They had written a new song and wanted my opinion.
It was "Call and Response". Dylan would "call", Clint would respond.
"Well, I'm gonna do something big and special"
"Go ahead, Make my day"
What it is, you'll never guessial" (Yes, he rhymed "special" with "guess"!)
"Go ahead, Make my day"
"I think I'm gonna let the reins out"
"Go ahead, Make my day"
"I think I'm gonna blow my brains out"
"Go ahead, Make my day"
At this point, I was ready to blow his brains out, but I kept my cool until they passed out.
But it gets to be such a burden, month after month.
