Dave Grohl tells us a story about Skeeter Thompson, a member of his former band Scream. It’s pretty funny. This is a re-recording of a song off Dave’s solo tape “Pocketwatch”. He played drums and bass on this, as well as the entire King Buzzo EP.
So we were in Amsterdam
And we were staying at this guy Tas' house
Good friend of ours
Um, it was kind of in the middle of the city
We were just finished with our second European tour
And everything was going pretty good
Skeeter, he met this girl that lived next door to Tas'
And within a couple of weeks he started living with her, y'know?
And I guess she had a lot of money or something
'Cause she was constantly buying him clothes and giving him lots of stuff and loaning him money, y' know?
And he was constantly going to the coffee shop
And always getting the best herb and the best hash, y'know?
He was in good shape
She was really good looking. She was really cool
And I don't, I don't think he'd met ever her before
But she, she had, y'know, other boyfriends, I suppose
So I'm sitting on the couch, y'know, at Tas' apartment
And I'm reading, y'know, Maximum Rocknroll or Flipside, one of those punk things
And I heard Skeeter come in
And he came in, and he had all these really nice clothes on
She bought him all this stuff
She, like. bought him cologne
He was really, really smelling good, y'know, he looked good too
Y'know, he comes in, he puts his herb on the table and, whatever
I'm just reading my little punk magazine, not really paying attention
And then he says—uh—says, "Hey Dave?"
And I look up. And he's standing there with his dick in his hand
And he's kinda got it, like, lifted up, so he's looking at the head of his dick
He kinda pointed it at me
And I didn't know what to think
He said, "Does that look like pus to you?"
And I said, "No, I think it's lint."
