Bob & Steve. Imagine Steve observing the rivalry of Bob, Fred & Dave, as chronicled in the prior's autobio, from the p.o.v. of 1967 (when Bluebird was recorded). Bob cajoling pop, Dave art song, Fred raga (& coke). Only to be topped by Elvis, at least on this Friday, though Everything is Broken comes close.
