The Greased Pig Gala 2003 (video 1)

 

 

Now I'm gonna do the Richard Dreyfuss-type narration, like at the end of Stand By Me: 

Looking back on that night, I realize that my fiends were the ones who make me feel like a kid again. As the years went by, I saw less and less of the guys. TJ went off and joined the circus, and we never heard from him again. Aaron now has a successful recording career, and is featured quite often on Late Night with Conan O' Brian. He sends me a Christmas card every year. Brodey was elected to the Senate as a representative of Ohio. While at a bar one night, he got into an argument with a guy who claimed he was better at beer pong. A best out of 99 suicide match ensued, and the last I heard they were still going at it. And me, when I'm not playing with mashed potatoes, chasing after sharks, or finishing my opus, I'm trying to establish myself as more than a mediocre writer. As for my friends, although I hadn't seen them in more than 10 years, I know I'll miss them forever. I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 22... Jesus, does anyone?

For an encore, Aaron does his version of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" only substituting Clapton's words with his own, and again changing the subject to TJ's decision to not drink at that party because his stomach was not well. This song was well received by the amassed public, and TJ was amused to have a song sung about him. Well, at least I think that he was amused. I'd have to ask him again.
