The latest Bobbledy mailing contained a hot-off-the presses copy of the latest Bobbledy album, Absurd is the Bird. It also contained a drawing sheet inviting club members to imagine their own rock band and send it to us so that we might share it with all of you.
Here is the band imagined by Lilly M. G. (can you imagine a better name for a band leader?).
And can you imagine a more incredible band? Let’s start with the drummer. Not only is he keeping the beat to the electrifying sounds of PLP, PLOP, BAM, BOM, but he seems to be creating ACTUAL electricity in the form of a lightning storm. Move over Ringo.
The lead singer is belting songs of love so powerful and loud that his own hair is being blown back by the majesty of it all. THE HUMANITY!
The upright bass player seems to be channeling the extra electrons from the lightning storm. His hair is in a universe all its own.
The guitarist seems to be in a mellow groove. I can almost hear his feather fingers dance across the fretboard.
And there, in the background (no, not the goofball with the cowbell), but that guy who seems to be doing a hip-flexor-defying high kick while jumping over the fence—THAT guy is the heart and the soul of this band, the one without whom they would be merely excellent.
With him there on the stage, they are legendary.
Don’t you wish you could hear them now? I sure do. And in a way, I sort of can. Such is the power of a great drawing.
Thank you, Lilly for sharing your wonderful work with us. Rock on, we say. ROCK ON!
