Most of those stories have been the same since 2002 and I'm still going to the shows! However many people in the audience have not heard the stories as they will only see Paul once in their lifetime and they think it is unique.
You know maccascruff..I actually miss the massage story.
Oh, please tell the massage story for those of us who haven't heard it.
Yes, do tell!

"One of the great things about touring is that you get to stay in loads of different hotels, and when you're there you can have a massage. So I asked for one, and this big guy comes up to my room and asks me to sit upright on the table. Now he says to stare into his eyes and try and burn a hole in his eyes with my eyes. It's a massage I wanted, not a deep relationship, and I keep telling that story everywhere I go, in the hope that it'll get back to him and he'll stop doing it". "Then another time when I was in Tokyo (the very mention of Tokyo gets the crowd jeering), no not that time, but another time. This lady came to my room and asked me to lie down, and as she started to massage my arms she started singing 'yesterday, all my troubles???' thank god she didn't know the middle eight, and they are both true stories".

That it's, Barb, word for word! Paul doesn't pronounce massage like we do in the US. It's MASS age.

yeah over here it rhymes with "mirage" cool stories! I don't know if you know, but George was a great ukelele player!

Thanks for sharing Barb. Love the Tokyo reference ... no not that time, but the other time

Don't forget that the first guy gave Paul the massage in New Orleans, and that he asked Paul to first visualize that his leg was made of brass...then that his neck was as long as a giraffe's. When the masseuse asked him how he felt, Paul quipped that he felt like a giraffa with a brass leg. lol

Totally forgot that part!

It's funny, I never heard the part about the massage v. a relationship, and I went to five shows spread out over that tour! )
-
wow...you guys have great memories
-
My memory only works for important things, like Paul and...well, that's about it, actually. lol

I LOVE the massage story!!!!!! Never heard it before!!!!!!
-
lol--yeah, I heard it at least five times during the 2002 tour, and I laughed every time. Mostly because I love the cute pronunciation of "massage". ) But also he was playing the psychedelic organ at the time, and was playing music you would associate with a "massage" or riding in an elevator. )

Thought y'all would enjoy the following email message I received today from comic Marc Maron.
Now, let me get into this. After the show in Dallas a gentlemen named Mark came up to me and declared himself to be a longtime fan. We chatted. Nice guy. He's working on a screenplay (which he just sent me). After the chat he asked me to sign his arm with a Sharpie. I did. Then he said, "I'll be back in few. Are you going to be around?" I said, "Yeah, we're all getting something to eat next door." he said, "Okay." Then he bolted out of the club. Me and the other comics went to the pizza place next door. We were all eating and Mark burst in through the doors, came up to our table, pulled back a large bandage on his arm to reveal a tatoo he had just had inked. It was my signature. Where I had signed my name with a Sharpie was now inked into permanence. I really didn't know what to say. It felt honored and totally weirded out at the same time. What did it mean? He had another name there so I didn't feel too weird but what does it imply? Are we married somehow? Do I owe him? Am I going to be brought in as a suspect if they find him dead? Will it end up being inked over if I don't return his emails now? Complicated. Definitely the oddest experience I have had with a fan and in some ways the most flattering. There was quite a bit of sacrifice involved on his part. I am not encouraging any of you to get Maron tats but I thought I should give Mark a little shout here! "Thanks, Mark. I am honored....I think." I'll read the script. I swear.
