Buckaroo plays rock music that swaggers, spits, sweats, and uplifts. Randall likes to sing about struggles, addictions, hopes, fears, villains, and heroes. The only thing better than playing rock & roll would be driving a fuel truck off a thousand-foot cliff and escaping with the aid of a rocket-powered jetpack to watch the ensuing explosion.
Ironically my hiccoughs are back after the last rock show. one of the buckaroo guitar players (the bald one) told me i should review every show, so i'll try. he also told me that he thought zombie farts would smell really bad. But I suppose the important point here is that buckaroo rock show kicked ass, and almost as importantly featured between two to eight rock kicks by differing accounts. just as you were ordering up your fourth drink of the set and thinking where are the rock kicks, there they fucking were, in your face, rocking fucking rock kicks, like pow, like that zombie just ripped one, like how much more rock and roll and rock kicks could you be, and the answer was NONE, none more rock and roll and rock kicks, the buckaroo rock show is like the mount everest of rock and roll rock shows and rock kicks. also randy's wive stacy rock helped me with my posture after the show. apparently after too much rocking it's important to imagine a tiny string coming out of the top of your head aligning you and reminding your muscles after so much rocking that they can fucking relax and just drink beer. which came surprisingly naturally to them actually. BUCKAROO! come rain or shine, come to the buckaroo rock shows or miss rocking, rocking rock kicks, and knowing which strings to imagine are telling your muscles to drink more beer and enjoy rock and roll shows. BUCKAROO!
Just got back from the buckaroo show at arlene's grocery and i may have a terminal case of the hiccoughs. BUT IT WAS TOTALLY FUCKING WORTH IT. First rule of Buckaroo -- the shittier the weahter, the better the fucking Buckaroo show. If the weather's nice Go To the fucking Buckaroo show, what the fuck else are you going to do. If the weather's shittty though -- tough that shit out because the buckaroo show will be fucking phenomenal. tonight's show was like a mix of time travel and awesome. and there was dancing adn rock kicks. rock kicks that left you aching for more rock kicks. and hiccuping like a motherfucker. (Thanks Joe for buying that last PBR for me. And for being hysterically judgmental.)
It could very well have been one of the top 3 buckaroo shows of all time. The last time I had this much fun ata buckaroo show I wrote: "i would lick to express my deepest condolence s to any of te dumb fucks cunts &c. who let a little wind snow / sleet u ice what the fuckever get in the way of a little bit of rock and ucking roll tonight -- buckaroo was vd spectacular and i pity the fool who didn't come out 2 nite. i wa s there u werne't -- come to every show from now on or i will mock u again u afraid fo th e weather wheteher or not dumbshit they were MOST IM{PRESSIVE 00--- REALLY! it was the rock and rol quivalent of drivinga truck ful of gasoline over a cligffff and jumping out wiht a jet pack and watchign tthe gasoline trcuk exlode and then flying off oin a motherfucking jet pack and shooting shit ujp with a laser gun ! thank you buckerroooooooooooooooooooo!"
****
So there. If you like laser guns and fucking rock and roll and ruckuses, go to the next Buckaroo show. If not, know that Joe is judging you. As he shoudl be.
If you didn't come out tonight on account of the beautiful fucking weather here's what you missed -- THE SHOW WAS SO FUCKING GOOD that I didn't even realize there were no rock kicks until Pat Ham told me. But he promised me at least two rock kicks next show. And then Randall promised me that I would be the band's Australian manager when they toured Australia, so I yelled something at some dude on our way out. Can't remember what exactly. Randall also promised me 100 whores. In the cab I thought that was suspiciously similar to what the Muslims promise suicide bombers. But whatever. It was such a good rock show, who wouldn't want to suicide bomb for buckaroo, or drive a truck off a cliff with jet packs and lasers. That's what Buckarroo is all abouts. Lasers, explosions, Kurt Russell, trucks, rock and roll, Australians, yellng, AND GOOD FUCKING TIMES. Don't you like Good FUcking Times? I hope so. Otherwis e I DON"T FUCKING LIKEYOU.e BUUCKAROO MOTHERFUKKERS> Did I Mention Pat Hamm counted to FouR in FUCKING GERMAN DURING THIS SHOW? THAT"S A GOOD EXAPMLE OF WHY YOU NEVER SAY NEVER FUCKING NEVER miss a BUCKAROO FUCKING ROCK SHOW MOTHERFUCKERS.
