Can the impact of Dixie Dave Collins really be understated?

Let's think about this.

Sings and plays, just like Geddy Lee!
Makes ridiculous faces like Anthony Jackson!
Jaco used all sorts of drugs, Dave just like his cough syrup to be handy and I think he might smoke the reefer. That's way better than Jaco!
Never changes his strings, just like Jamerson!
He does it all with only 9 toes! I bet Jeff Berlin has 10 toes. (need citation on JB's toe status)
And best of all, he uses Squier just like the rest of us.

Clearly Dixie Dave is where it's at.
 
I don't think so because clearly the quantum physics behind Dixie Dave is a most remarkable phenomenon. I think it's best to understand the sheer understatement of the universe and Dixie Dave's place in it so thank you.
 
O.k., I looked up the band Weed eater on YouTube. Not quite my cup-o-tea, I'm primarily into blues and old country but I did find out that I can use zip ties on my weed eater.
Weedeater has some funked out weird back-country acoustic psych kinda stuff they usually do at least one an album. Some of them are more serious then others you might be surprised that you would like some of them.

Woe's Me

Palms and Opium?!?

Processional?

Benaddiction?

Battered and Fried?!

Kira May!

PM me where to mail that 5'er.

The next time you get asked "would you like to donate a dollar to help fight children's cancer?" donate a dollar. That'll do. It's what Dixie Dave's lost toe would want.

And that toe is now my benchmark for bassists. If your chosen bassist has 10 toes, he's inferior to Dave. The importance of 10 toes cannot be overstated!

I'll do it five times to make sure we're square.
