In a perfect world this would have been my birthday present for turning 30! And Eddie Murphy impersonating James Brown would be singing "Hot Tub" while I cannon-balled into the tub with my new friends.
Will it make me wet? YEAH...Will it make me sweat? YEAH! Good God! Hot tub!
The Godfather of Soul wearing gold chains, a flashing Rolex, shades as dark as midnight, perfectly coiffured hair and a bright smile would have jumped in to the tub and we'd laugh at Eddie, ask him, "Eddie, what have you done for us lately?" We talk about the Godfather's days playing baseball, and his appearance in the Rocky flick singing "Living in America", whether or not he'll see the new Rocky flick, lost loves and how Jeff Garcia is a real surprise this year leading the Eagles. To which the Eagles cheerleaders would join in with a freshly popped bottle of bubbly (probably a '98 Perrier Jouet-no 'Tal or Dom for this 5-some), inside info on the team and the hope Jeff has brought to bring Philly as they are now headed to the playoffs. Sadly, this is not a perfect world, and the Godfather of Soul has left the building. He's probably just finished a set on at the Pearly-Gates Amphitheatre, slipping into his Rainbows and robe, warming up the tub and starting the party with out me. Got to have a celebration!
RIP J.B. Thanks for the show!
