Dear Dr. D; Thank you for your time and kindness.
Did the shrewdest Jewish manager of all time actually allow all of that Budweiser spokesmanship to go on without a deal? If so, big missed opportunity.
Someone gave me an EMC bass amp head, speaker cab and the green vinyl covers in immaculate shape. I did research and found an ad featuring you. What year would that have been?
Finally, who plays what's possibly a Jew's Harp which sounds like its saying Porky Pig, Porky Pig, etc at the opening of elected?
From Padre, who's in a hospital, recovering from Covid.

Re: The Big Budweiser Question and Other Fiendish ?"s
Padre, I'm sending positive thoughts your way for a quick recovery.
I did ask Joe and Shep about getting Bud to endorse us. I thought it was a brilliant idea, however, product endorsements, other than musical equipment, with rock bands just wasn't a thing in those days. And even with an album at the top of the charts, we still had a controversial image that nobody would touch with a 10 foot pole.
In later years, I was jealous when Bud endorsed the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour.
I don't recall using EMC bass amps. On stage, I used Fender Bassman, Acoustic 360, and Sunn Coliseum. In the studio, I used Ampeg B-15 and Fender Bassman.
I played the Jew's Harp on "Elected" and chipped my tooth.

Thank you for your thoughts. I've chipped a tooth on a Jew's Harp...very unforgiving instrument.
