Who Banter Time !!!!!!!!!!



The following is the banter before My Wife from the Denver 2000 show:

Pete: Just heard that ahh, apparently, if ahh, we have a comedian up here in
our intermission we don't have to pay state taxes.  So ummm, I'm making that
up by the way.
Gonna hand the microphone over.....to someone who will speak, but (in funny
voice) you..will..not..understand.  *I* will translate for you late-a.
(applause)

John: Uhhh (in kind of shaky voice), excuse me.
Someone (Pete maybe?):  Shhh, Shhh, Shh (to hush the crowd)
John: I thought you were German, that's why I can't....(voice fades to
inaudible).  We *are* in Germany aren't we??
Rog: No John, it's the USA.
John: How do you, how do you people, out there manage to breath in this
fucking city? (crowd cheers)
Rog: They don't smoke, John.  Not tobacco, anyway.
Pete: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I want to know.  How do you manage to breed.
(laughs at self).
John: Brea-*The*.
Pete: Oh, the same as everyone else I heard.
John: Ok, this is ahh, this is a song.....I wrote about my first wife.
(cheers)  I have to speak in short sentences.  This is not about my second
wife, it's about my first wife.  She, she's the *older* one.
Pete: This is very Hollywood, isn't it?  This bit's very California.
John:  All my wives are very strange.  They have to be.  And, this one's
about my first wife, and it's called My..........First Wife.


John, telling it like it is.
