   I tend to find The Daily Show (and its spin­off The Colbert Report) to be more accu­rate and proper for the events than real news out­lets. And much more sat­is­fy­ing for the soul. Sometimes… all you can do is laugh.

   It sure as hell beats wor­ry­ing… altough I do that too. Counting down the days of the Shrub’s régime, woohoo!

   ‘Nix.

   I’m on the com­puter way too much to watch that show.

   Sure, Mel. Typing. Uh huh. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

   And why would­n’t we stop by, Guy? Some of us have been fans since a cer­tain bassist started danc­ing on stage dur­ing the Money solo in the Delicate Sound of Thunder video. Or maybe that’s just me, I dunno. LOL!

   Cheers, mate.

   Yes, ‘Nix that’s where I first saw Guy too and as I said ear­lier, would see him pop­ping up with other bands from then on too.

   I do watch The Daily Show when I catch it on More4 (I’m in the UK Guy).

   I also like a web show called ‘The Show’ hosted by Ze Frank. The con­tent is really off the wall but has sen­si­ble polit­i­cal com­ment on world­wide top­ics thrown in for good mea­sure.

   I watch the Daily Show EVERY night. It’s rare to come across a show that con­stantly says exactly what I am think­ing about the goings on in pol­i­tics here in the States. It’s funny, and as you said, spot on.

   Sometimes the guests are a bit dry…the only thing worse than pol­i­tics is the peo­ple who write poit­i­cal books…and they all end up as guests. But the first half of the show, and the “Moment of Zen” is price­less.

   Off to pester Borders…

   Morning Sir,

   Nice to see you back, nice to know some­one has seen some sun, seems sum­mer has for­got­ten where Australia is this year.

   I am a watcher of above men­tioned show and a must see is a lit­tle Australian show called ’ The Chaser ’ absolutely hilar­i­ous satir­i­cal take on the week’s news and cur­rent affairs.

   Karen.

   Daily show is a great show. It makes me laugh every­time I see it. The show I saw today included con­gress giv­ing their props for the BCS cham­pi­onship col­lege game. Nothing is more hilar­i­ous than try­ing to see a con­gressper­son try and rap. Maybe we have some future Snoops in the house !!! HAHA
   Don’t worry Nix, I like the danc­ing too. A lit­tle hyp­notic.

   Well good night to all

    Apologies if I’ve missed it some­where, but does the book have a work­ing title yet?

    Here’s one vote for includ­ing Boston as a stop if you end up bring­ing the show to the US! If you do, be sure to allo­cate ample time for a pub crawl and asso­ci­ated recov­ery (despite our 12:30am last call).

    Guy Pratt - January 17, 2007 3:30 PM

    The book is called ‘My Bass and other ani­mals’, like the show..

    Hi Guy, Happy New Year, Belated Happy Birthday, right now i’ve got all those out of the way I can start being rude! Only jest­ing Sir.
    I havn’t got any sug­ges­tions for sub­jects for dis­cus­sion but here’s an amus­ing lit­tle tale I heard recently:
    The Pilot of a small sin­gle engined Cessna was wait­ing to taxi to the active run­way at Gatwick and was told by Air Traffic Control to “Wait at hold­ing point ‘Charlie’ until the United Airlines Boeing has cleared the taxi way”. As the United Airlines heavy trun­dled past the hold­ing point the Pilot came over the radio fre­quency “Ah thats a pretty lit­tle air­craft. Did you make it your­self!” Not to be out done by this elit­ist jibe, the Cessna pilot retorted imme­di­ately with ” Yes. I’ve made it out of old Boeing parts. Another land­ing like that and I will fin­ish the other one in the garage!”
    See ya all.

    Happy belated B,day. Keep work­ing on that US tour. I’m try­ing to get all my musician/​bass friends aware of the book com­ing out.
    I am work­ing with a drum­mer friend that remem­bers you from TuesdayNight music club in the early days, who went on to play with Sheryl Crow for a while. Lots of weird stuff back then from the sto­ries I’ve heard.

    Cheers

    Hey Sir,

    Heard you’re an Arsenal sup­porter. The guys I work with are all sup­port­ers of the English foot­ball, so I have picked a team to fit in, I have picked Arsenal. So now we can talk foot­ball.

    Karen.

    Guy Pratt - January 23, 2007 10:54 AM

    I am indeed a ‘Gooner’ as we’re known. But I have moral prob­lem with foot­ball, it repersents every­thing that’s crass and greedy about mod­ern soci­ety..

    Paul Sexton - January 23, 2007 11:27 AM

    Very true Guy, few play for the Shirt any more!

21. 

    Karen - January 23, 2007 11:54 AM

    By that do you mean feel­ing betrayed by greedy play­ers and just plain lack of love of the game and increas­ing pen­e­tra­tion of busi­ness money and processes?

    Um, sound­ing some­what famil­iar.

    Guy Pratt - January 24, 2007 9:09 PM

    Pretty much..

    Hi Guy. I am a very low hours PPL. Can only do it spas­mod­i­cally as time and funds com­pete with things in the house and other pri­or­i­ties as listed by my bril­liant wife! She still gig­gles at some of your sto­ries we wit­nessed at your show in November.

    Looking for­ward to see­ing the book.

    Cheers

    How goes the book, Guy?

    I was won­der­ing if you know if Rick has an album project in the works? Please let him know that we’re eager to hear from him. If I’m being nosey, then smack me..

    Take care.

    A lit­tle tale to lighten up your week­end.

    A young lady with hair of inde­ter­mi­nate colour (so as not to offend the blondes among you!) was sit­ting in club class on a 747 tak­ing off from Heathrow bound for Sydney, Australia with a fuel stop in Dehli. After the “fas­ten your seat belts” sign went out and the stew­ardesses were busy get­ting the first meal of the flight to all the pas­sen­gers, our young lady vacated her seat and walked to first class and sat her­self down. The stew­ardess look­ing after first class asked her to move back to club class. The lady said she was going to stay there all the way to Sydney and there was noth­ing she could do about it! The stew­ardess reported this to the head Steward who when he tack­led the lady got the same reac­tion. The same thing hap­pened to the 1^st offi­cer and so it was up to the Captain to deal with. He said “I was mar­ried to a lady like this once, I speak their lan­guage”. He went down to the first class cabin and whis­pered in her ear. All the stew­ardess’s and stew­ards were peer­ing around the cor­ner to see what was hap­pen­ing. Suddenly the young woman got up and went back to her seat in club class. When the cap­tain got back to the flight deck the 1^st offi­cer asked him what he had said, ” Oh I just told her that the front end of the aero­plane was­n’t going any furhther than Dehli!”

    Paul Sexton - January 29, 2007 10:51 PM

    Why was­n’t it going any fur­ther than Dehli?

    Karen - January 29, 2007 11:37 PM

    Being a blonde, liv­ing in Sydney, makes sense to me.

    Being a nat­ural blonde (and thus, dye­ing my hair red counts as ‘arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence’), I found it ter­ri­bly amus­ing. 🙂

    Your mileage may vary.

    I never miss The Daily Show or The Colbert Report!!!!

    Very smart shows!!!

    I’ve been away for awhile.…hope all is well. The Tour sounds great.

    Hello,

    I drop here nearly every­day, but this TV pro­gramme is not avail­able in Poland, so I can’t have any opin­ion. Although Polish troops are in Iraq but it is not a big topic here. more atten­tion is paid only when Polish sol­dier is killed or injured.
    All the best with your book and both tours.
    Looking for­ward for another top­ics.

    Hey All:

    Sonicfrog here.

    Guy, did you play on TNMC? I only remem­ber Dan Schwartz on the lin­ers. But even if you did­n’t, you guys had a “six degrees of Kevin Gilbert” thing going on. Wish he was still with us. All my favorite artists seem to end up work­ing together. Hmmm, guess now I’ll have to google David Baerwald and Bill Botrell and see what the’ve been up to lately.

    I only watched it as it was on after the ‘Live from Abbey Road’ thingy and I could­n’t be both­ered mov­ing myself to change the chan­nel but yes it was really quite excel­lent.

    The first time I’ve been here and was just won­der­ing if there will be a dvd of the bass and ani­mals tour?

    Thanks
