   longer plays or even    
   practices the drums?  He doesn't visit the library (thank GOD!) anymore, since   
   he has no lyrics that require him to do research.  So what DOES he do?

   his hands, bends his knees, lowers his head, making himself humble as could be   
   before the Lord -- almost like Trump greeting Putin!  (Except Neil doesn't   
   obtain an erection in    
   the process -- God is Pure Spirit, and wouldn't be able give Neil the   
   sought-after handjob or sodomy.)

   3 + hours of hard drumming a night.  Indeed, the only exercise he gets is down   
   at the Santa Monica Bathhouse with Michael.  But that's delving into personal   
   territory.  Anyway,   
    Neil ambles to the refrigerator for a few sodas.  Mountain Doo, Coca-Cola.    
   Chugs a few of the those and pops a few boxes of Pepperoni & Cheese Hot   
   Pockets into the ole microwave.  He gobbles, mouth full and wide open,   
   occasional strands of cheese and    
   saliva dribbling from his wordless lips.  Ya see, folks, without media people   
   around, Neil has reverted to a more feral state; one might even liken him to a   
   beast -- dare I suggest a BEAR?  For, much like yours truly, Neil is not   
   merely bulky and belch-   
   prone, but he has lost all the hair atop his head, while an unwashed,   
   untrimmed, food-flecked luxuriant growth of hair sprouts from his lower face   
   and neck.  Yes, he is now officially a neck-beard, and like all neck-beards,   
   Neil reviles   
   >science, physical activity and "learning," instead preferring to sit in the   
   basement and watch Prepper or Alt-Right videos on Youtube.  Sieg Heil!

   >After a bit -- say, three or four hours -- of that, he makes his way,   
   unsteadily, outside, disturbed a bit by the wind, the climate, the call of   
   birds, the hum of automobiles -- the sounds of life.  He years to retreat to   
   his Mancave and Youtube videos,    
   but he also knows he has a Patriotic Duty to perform.

   refreactor telescope aimed performanently in the vicinity of the Mexican   
   border.  While Neil adjusts the lense with one hand, another hand clutches   
   hard on the grip of his automatic    
   rifle, ready to blow away dusky-skinned rapist, drug-dealer or tamale peddler   
   attempting to cross the border.  Our retired drummer focusses on one spot in   
   particular, where the other day he placed a bag of Taco Bell in hopes of   
   enticing Latinos to their    
   doom.  But for now, the border seems clear enough, and Neil decides check back   
   later in a bit -- with backup.
