(Ed repeats an audience members shout of “my name is Jeremy.” Ed laughs and says, “I owe you an apology don’t I? in mocking tone “hey Jeremy, you speak in class today? Sorry man....” He goes on to talk about Ken Burn’s documentary on the Dust Bowl this leads to a series of digressions and stories including his part time job working at the club “Bacchanal” and getting to work a Ray Charles show. As Ray passes Ed he says, “That is a fine haircut son” referring to Ed’s mohawk. Ed is stunned and thinks “Ray Charles can see, all this time, he has been playing us.” Ed then sees Ray’s handlers laughing and realizes he has been set up. “It was an honor to get pranked by the great Ray Charles.”)
17. Immortality (dedicated to Ray Charles)
(Ed says this next one is a sing along and starts to strum the chords for “Slow Lukin” an audience member says he wants to come up and sing Hunger Strike.
