Exactly. They're court jesters in my kingdom and nothing more.

In the abstract or just the people you meet? I'm more charitable until I actually encounter mouth breathers in public.

I didn't mean goon in a vindictive way. Vince and Nick just seemed like cartoon punks when something a little different was required to follow in Mr. Jones' footsteps.

Worst case scenario

That is unless you want to get goofy and have Bernie on lead vocals and Michael Fayne on lead synth (Herman Young Wagner on rhythm synth goes without saying) and Terry on drum machine.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Best case scenario
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

It was kind of like Clash II: The Clash go to high school. Mate used to have a Clash II photo of Joe popping out of a locker as his sig which I thought captured the whole thing.
