If Ed was your neighbor...

And you needed some lemons or a pair of eggs, would you knock on his door and just ask?

If he was practicing guitar in his backyard and was too loud, would you ask him to keep it down?

I always wonder these kind of things... :)

    Does Ed actually practice his guitar playing?

    I would start a very public, yet personal war with him a la' Homer Vs. George Bush, Senior. Can't wait to glue that rainbow wig on Ed.

    I heard from someone that they send their kids to his door every Halloween.

    Nobody answers.

    I've also heard it's a good idea to look both ways before crossing the street around his block. But, hey - It's a good idea to look both ways before crossing any block.

    If I were Ed's neighbor, I would ask that he PLEASE be TOO LOUD. Play anything you want, Ed! ;)

    No doubt about it, Ed and I would be rival neighbors.

    If Ed were my neighbor I'd ask him how he sleeps at night charging $47.50 for a fucking lighter.

    If Ed were my neighbor, I'd go right over to his place and introduce myself. I would tell him of the tremendous respect that I have for him and his music. I would share some stories of all of the traveling I've done to see the band, and some of the highlights over the past 17 years. I'd try to keep it matter of fact, light, and funny.

    Then, I'd talk with him about how people aren't good neighbors to each other anymore. Maybe a short discussion of how things used to be, how things are now, and why that is. Then I would say that since we're neighbors, our two families can start to change that perception.

    I would propose that we become friendly and try to define what being a "good neighbor" is all about. Maybe even say that we should meet up and check in with one another at least once a month. Nothing like "official", or on a schedule or anything like that. Just chat for a few minutes outside or in the garage.

    I'd try that out and test the waters for a few months. I think Ed would be hesitant about it for awhile, but would then quickly warm up to the idea. Meanwhile, I would stay cool about it and not force anything. (Of course, I'd be going nuts about it to my friends and family!)

    In the end, I think that Ed would be a great neighbor, and if you gave him space and were nothing but cool to him, he would return the favor (and would probably enjoy blowing your mind by inviting you to rehersals and jam sessions, and introducing you to his friends and band mates).
