Bob Dillion!!!!

Well, my version of the story goes like this:
Jay, bless his heart, was constantly messing with his hearing aids. Mostly replacing batteries and bending battery contacts. He just couldn't get more than a short while of "air time" it seemed on any given day.
Once MasterBlaster showed up, we had another understanding of Jerry's screen name. Jerry loves blasting his bikes stereo. (even this has a few stories to it. LOL). Did I mention drinking yet? Seems that we scientifically proved that Jay's hearing actually improved with each beer intake.
So it was one of those nights where we were drinking and enjoying tunes emanating from Jerry's dashboard stereo. One thing lead to another and we were all convinced that Jay had entered the zone of perfect hearing. We had numerous conversations going on and we had had many interactions of cohesive/pertinent Q&A about all things you solve in life when drinking.
The conversation switched for a moment to discuss the sing-along we were having with a Bob Dylan song playing. We all believed we knew the words and each of us were belting out our own rendition. (please picture numerous empty beer cans and poor dogs howling off in the distance because of off-key baying and mumbled words).
Out of the clear blue, Jay gets up and walks over to Jerry's stereo and stairs at the display. At the top of his vocal range, Jay hollers out "Bob Dylan". Obviously for the first time, Jay was discovering who was singing that song. That meant that Jay's hearing hadn't heard a single thing we all had already been talking about regarding Bob Dylan. Beer was expelled through noses and down the wrong pipes. It was one of those drunken-sailor moments that was simply priceless.
The on-guard part of the entire week was when you least expected it, Jay would perk-up and let you know that "I heard that". We never knew what Jay heard or elected to ignore. When we asked if he wanted another beer, Jay would answer that he wasn't hungry. Go figure.
We put the rest of the odd encounters and exchanges with Jay into one phrase: "Bob Dylan!!!".
They broke the mold when Jay came around. There will never be another Jay. He is my brother, my friend, and at least he sees good! Heeeee heeeee heeee
