Default Billy on Bozo Final show video [Upgrade!]

It took me some time but I got hold of a much better version of the infamous first post-breakup appearance of Bolly and Jimmy performing the Bob Dylan song "Forever Young" on Bozo's Final Show.

Please also enjoy the short interview, band intro and caking of a band member which wasnt shown in the previous circulating clips.

This is actually all I was hoping would be on the Machina reissue, so, thanks, I may get the first full night of sleep in years tonight

Looks like I have the full broadcast including commercials from a VHS tape. Quality is about the same.

Other weird stuff I have:
- Billy on Mancow
- Billy singing take me out to the ballgame at some baseball game

Great share. I always had a soft spot for this performance - appreciate whatever work it took to get this version, as the stuff that's been out recently of this was lame quality.

Honestly kind of sucks that Bozo didn't pretend to remember 11-year-old Billy sitting there, like honestly Bozo my man, what have you got to fucking lose at this point, this is obviously a special moment for ol' Billy boy here and you could have made it magical for him with one little white lie

I remember this, oddly. I'm sure he ended it by screaming "Let's get some runs!!!!"

Perhaps it was his inspiration for Run2Me all those years later.

No, he's saying what he wanted to say on the show, now. Bozo is, that's Bozo's voice.

Here it is on the Zeitgeist DVD i think?
Maybe it's a more metallic red. Hard to tell.
Later in the Zeit vid he's recording Come On Lets Go with it.

Did bozo become a term of subtle ribbing/endearment before or after bozo the clown became a renowned national clownshit

It sounds like the word came first, though it's a little unclear exactly where it came from. This article does bring up the unfortunate fact that many Serbs and Croatians with the name Bozo were immigrating to the States right around when a popular Vaudeville clown named Bozo became popular. Nothing definitive there, but, not a good look.

In happier news, looking into this led me to learn of the RIP Bozo meme, as well as a heroic robot in '40s comics called Bozo The Iron Man. I am especially glad to learn of the latter because that leads me to a character, apparently very loosely based on a pitch by Grant Morrison to update Bozo, named Gonzo the Mechanical Bastard. That is the funniest fucking name I've ever heard in my life and I'm astounded to find that there's literally no one talking about him on the internet, it's all just these fucking Fandom [whatever]pedia pages that all copy and paste each other.

In conclusion, I'd just like to say again, Gonzo the Mechanical Bastard.
