A MESSAGE FROM BOBBY, JR.:
Well, not a message directly from his mouth, because, you know, he's a dog, but an update, anyway. Bobby, Jr, the EELS' talented singing dog, is often called "the sixth EEL" because of his constant companionship and inspiration to all EELS projects. Many EELS fans were aghast and voiced displeasure when a photo recently surfaced of EELS leader E looking very cozy with a kitten. But there is no need for concern. The kitten was merely a visitor that day and Bobby, Jr. is alive, well and feeling both wonderful AND glorious. Bobby, now age 10, did go through a major health scare recently that resulted in him having to endure spinal surgery that left his freak-show, low rider, backwards-legged body looking like Frankenweenie just in time for Halloween, but we're happy to report that he has bounced back and is walking, running and chasing squirrels like the Bobby, Jr. of 9 years ago, and he was present for the entire recording of the new WONDERFUL, GLORIOUS EELS album. "A kitten?," says E, "No kitten can take the place of Bobby, Jr. No one will ever take the place of Bobby, Jr. in my heart." See Bobby, Jr. resting between ping pong matches below.
