BC: Thank you very much. Yes, it’s Saturday night, heh heh. Sorry, I cannot speak Philadelphian. (somebody onstage off mic says something and Billy responds unintelligibly off mic) You ever get the feeling it’s just all one big reality TV show all the time? [unintelligible]. How you doing up there, you okay? (big cheer) They get free drinks up there. Just kidding. I don’t want any lawsuits saying I’d give you free drinks. ... Is there any song you’d like to hear?

Now if you don’t like this song, I don’t want to hear any complaining after the show. I know how people in Philadelphia can be. It sort of goes like, heh, it sort of goes like this, “I have this opinion and you must know what my opinion is.” That’s the Philadelphia way, I understand. Heh. Alright, hold on a second. Uhhh... What do you wanna hear, Zero? Zero! Nah. Nah. Nah. Sorry. That’s the end of the show. You motherfuckers boo Santa Claus, okay, I know your shit. I saw you boo Santa Claus at that football game or whatever the fuck happened. You guys are brutal. Alright. If you wanna hear another song, it’s gonna be a new song. It’s an unreleased song. Alright, hold on. ...

BC: Can you hear this guitar? Heh heh heh. Yeah, yeah. This song is called, uh... Ha ha. I said “this song is called...” and some guy yelled “New Song.” If I use that, don’t sue me. Are you sure you wanna hear another song, I feel like this is bad form. Alright, I’ll make you a deal. Hold on. I’ll play this song if you don’t boo Chris Webber next season. (crowd boos) You wanted him to come here! Just because Iverson won’t pass the ball to anybody else, it’s not his fault. Oh, come on.
Linda Strawberry: It’s tough to pass.
BC: Oh, come on. Alright.
Mini
Strayz (Billy solo karaoke)
