I Dream Of MunkyFrom popular demand, I am starting a special chain of "Sometimes I Wonder." When I am done, there will be one focused on each member of the band...Because he's my favorite, my first little guinea pig is the all-too-lovable James "Munky" Shaffer...

Beeeeeeaaaaaaaaaautiiiiifulll
As you all know, I am infatuated with Munky. From the epic "Chink" to the innocent lost soul in "Are You Ready?" to the homophobic psychotic in "Blind", I see him as a rather diverse and loverly individual. I dream of him at night...I think of him during the day...Those lovely dreadlocks, the dreamy, chocolate eyes! What more could a girl ask for in a man? Nothing! He is everything and more...Now, let's contemplate the REAL meaning of his nickname...You know what they say about munkies |
To Munky, what he wears onstage is an expression of his inner self, everything he hates about his world. He has the word COW emblazoned on his janitor's outfit. Cow may be an expression to him, but to most omnivores it spells a beloved four letter word: BEEF. Now, this brings up questions about Bakersfield as well. I don't know about you, but where I live, even though it is a veritable booneyville, janitoring has NOTHING to do with raising cattle. |
Of course, I would never say this to Munky. |
