"How-do-you-do, there. You lot must be Vinnie Vincent. My name's Bill Walton, and I'm in multiple Halls of Fame: NCAA, NBA, and loving life."

"There's a Hall of Fame for loving life?"

"Yes, and I'm in information technology."

"Slap-up. Anyway, Bill, I'm Oteil Burbridge, not Vinnie Vincent. We've known each other for years."

"You fooled me with your makeup. As I mentioned, I believed you to be onetime Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent. That beau simply couldn't go out of his own way. Of course, both Paul and Gene are tough to deal with. Rambunctious spirits with mean holds on their wallets. I barely lasted six months with them."

"You were not in KISS, Bill."

"No, not in the band. I was in the KISS Army. This was during the Dead'due south hiatus, and I needed a ring to follow around so I would have a new place to accept drugs and noodle-trip the light fantastic toe every night."

"And then you lot went on tour with Buss?"

"I did! Poor decision. Musically, at least. They're not very good at playing their instruments, or singing, or writing songs. Skilled at wearing wacky become-ups and selling tee-shirts, but non top-shelf musicians. Little to no jamming, either."

"Yeah, they're not great."

"And I was not befriended. The members of the Grateful Dead take get like brothers to me, sharing their hopes, dreams, and skank as nosotros wandered across this bright blueish ball only spinning gratis. Whereas Kiss was, in turn, predatory and downright hostile towards me. Ace puked on my shoes and mistook me for someone of Polish-American heritage."

"How practise you know he thought you were Shine?"

"He kept calling me a Polack."

"Sure."

"Factor tried to sell me a Camaro. He said that it was a collector's detail, limited-edition KISS Kamaro, but I could spot no modifications or alterations to the vehicle. It was just a Chevy. Later, I learned that Gene didn't even own the car."

"Neb, I gotta get prepare for the show."

"Mickey in one case sold me an MG that exploded as I was driving it dwelling house, but it wasn't similar he was swindling me. That'due south the MG nature. You're buying a series of breakdowns. I withal have the car. Allow's road trip, Oteil. Yous and I, cruising across California and the rest of America in my MG. We can discover the wonders of nature, and get truly authentic Tex-Mex."

"Tin we discuss it during the set pause?"

"I phone call it halftime."

"Awesome."
