Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for February 09, 2010

I don’t think she’s on your side with this one, Adam.

I thought he was dufus, now I know it,,,Keith Richards, get some drugs in you Adam, its the only way to success with the Stones…Never like them!!!! Maybe at the beginning.

Bop him over the head with the book you’re reading and tell him to grow up.

Oh, let him dream, Laura. Dreams can make life bearable during the hard times.

I could never trust anyone who didn’t like the Rolling Stones.

If he would wash his dirty nose he might have a small chance.

linwoodbragg, if I say that I like the Stones up through, say, the mid-70’s, is that good enough?

Without Keith, they wouldn’t be the Rolling Stones any more. Some band members are replaceable, some are not. Set your sights on replacing Ron Wood, Adam; he gets to party just as hard as Keith, but his position on stage could be filled by anyone who can manage the licks.

@fritzoid. Absolutely.

Difficult (but distinctive) passages of guitar work. Similar to “riffs” or “hooks”. If you can effectively play the “licks”, then you’ve really got “chops.”

It wasn’t a reference to the band’s “Big Tongue” logo, but I can see how that imagery might come to mind…

Awwww, let him dream. Death is just around the corner. Let the man have his unattainable dream.

To dream the impossible dream… To fight the invincible foe…

There’s something to be said for that. If the odds against one course of action are infinity to one, and the odds against another are infinity-minus-one to one, does it serve Adam to support the merely improbable instead of the impossible? When you’ve failed in a goal, is there more comfort to be taken in the idea that you’ve never had a chance, or that you might have succeeded if you’d done things differently?

He hasn’t failed in his goal, because he just thought of it, and will have a new story line in a couple of days anyway. This is a comic strip, not the plight of Parsifal in search of the “Holy Grail” for psyochological interpretation.
