Directions And Pussy Via Larry Williams - "BAM!" Or ("Kevin, I SAW THIS AND THOUGHT OF YOU!" Installment #12)
I like the first title better. Don't you?
This contribution comes to us via Gretchen. This is literally Gretchen's uncle asking for directions. And Gretchen? Your uncle's friend, the one video-taping, snorting in the background? Fantastic.
Gretchen writes:
"You may have already seen this. It's a little long - but the end is gold. My uncle was riding his bicycle across the US, and asked for directions. His friend videotaped it. And yes, I thought of you when I saw it."
Gretchen, thank you. OF COURSE, I'm totally flattered that you thought of me. And you're right, the end IS gold. And the ending is why you thought of me, isn't it? I knew it!
So, yes, this video clip is hysterical. But, something struck me as I was watching it that was more gold than the ending. It was a little wisdom that Larry let slip:
"You goin' over a bridge, you goin' over a bridge, you goin' over a bridge, you goin' over a bridge, you goin' over a bridge..." (Then, Gretchen's uncle attempts to interrupt him and Larry replies,) "We can sing together, but we can't talk together."
Larry, "We can sing together, but we can't talk together"??
That's one of the most profound things I've heard in a long time...Seriously.
And also, I think that Larry said something quickly that sounded tragic...And if that's the case, Larry...I'm truly sorry, brother. I can't imagine. But, I'm going to hold on to that logic that you gave in your directions, "We can sing together, but we can't talk together" while I'm "goin' over that bridge".
