It Never Happened So It Can’t Stay in Las Vegas

Actually it didn’t happen anywhere.

Well, it did happen, that we were all in one place, but it didn’t happen, not as I’m going to write it. The un-interview occurred just a few feet from the highly-esteemed Joe Jaffe. The atmosphere was so heavy, I doubt anyone in the room heard singing or saw the flashing of the camera as the conversation, or actually the lack of it, commenced. This is an exclusive I bring to you.

I call it …

You’re So Greg

I walked into the party,
like I was walking into a screen.
My hair was strategically flipped
around my eyes,
My sweatshirt was golden brown.
I had one eye on the techies
as I watched them all convene
And all the boys dreamed
they’d be guitar hero
They’d be guitar hero but…

You’re so Greg.
You don’t need to say what you’re thinking
You’re so Greg.
I’ll bet you don’t need to say what you’re thinking.
Do you? Do you?

You read my tweets a few months ago,
when I could hardly believe
You said that you made a reach to SOB
And that you would never leave

You give away the looks we love
and you gave a few to me
I had some views, they flashed to my camera
Flashed to my camera, and …

You’re so Greg.
You don’t need to say what you’re thinking
You’re so Greg.
I’ll bet you don’t need to say what you’re thinking.
Do you? Do you?



Because the looks say everything.

Well it was something like that … next time maybe they’ll bring Jane Quigley with them.

Like I said, it never happened so it can’t stay in Vegas.
But if you want to know what they’re up to next … @gregverdino and @jaffejuice

    Hi Adam,
    Why, thank you!
    If you’d like to record it, I’d be happy to add the audio here. We all sing to our dear Greg, don’t we?

    You’re not a stranger anymore. :)

    Let’s not get carried away - I think the lyrics alone do me more than enough justice. :-)

    no way dude–I have hired a full symphony orchestra (it took me all morning to find a harp player) and rented Sony Studios–we are all set to go.

    Bono has agreed to sing backup

    Greg looks way to comfortable sprawled out on the Lovesac.

    That is FUNNY! (One note though - since when has Joe Jaffe been “esteemed”? Most social media types of my acquaintance think he’s a bit of a twit.)
