Title: Kote
Post by: davepeck on April 30, 2003, 02:41:38 pm
@ KOTE

Kuspierski the Kote you\'d think he was a ghost (x4)

A strictnine down his long straight spine
A pint of lemon brown devine
Square wrap chewey rainbow shine
Depalmas in repetition he does mind

Pockets filled with kind (filled with fluffy kind)
When he comes to shows (you know he\'s always on time)
You won\'t see him later (he\'s leavin\' at 9)
Long green Kote is out, the Kote is outta line

Kuspierski the Kote you\'d think he was a ghost (x4)

American turquiose out in front
Best friends with our main man Jut
A schedule rations pretzel chunks
A liter of coke and he is drunk

Mets games he\'s a phan (with a P-H)
Wafer chips of noise (burns \'em for the band)
Bootleg car trip tokes (keeps it on the go)
Don\'t you doubt the Kote (you know he\'s cookin\' for ghosts)

i know this song is an old one that\'s almost never played...does anyone know anything about the lyrics of this song?  is it written about somone the band knows?

Post by: Overexjoesure on January 21, 2008, 06:52:37 pm
Yes, a friend of the band\'s. From what I heard I guess he isnt even around anymore, thus one of the many reasons why the song was shelved. However, think of all of the obscure friends of Tom Marshall and Trey that grace numerous Phish songs ie Aaron Woolfe, Eliahu, Guela etc....



BRING BACK KOTE!!

i always wanted this to end up on an album when they were psychedelic breakfast. it would have been awesome with a horn section.

kinda reminds me of date rape a little too

Bringing back Kote has been talked about for awhile. I love this tune. I agree, bring it back.

does anyone know the whereabouts of kote today?  if we could get him to one show, maybe the band would play it.

I am very happy to see this Kote chatter. Good stuff guys.  Kote for President.  

Here\'s a brutally tough piece of Breakfast trivia for the next time you\'re talking hardcore Breakfast with someone and they haven\'t read this thread:

What 3 Breakfast songs mention a fan by name?

[SPOILER]
1.  Kote (Jeff Kuspierski I think is his name.  Also mentions "Jut" - Justin Maturo.)
2.  Heather (Heather Palmieri, Tim\'s sister, in title only.)
3.  Beer Jubilee (Yours truly, Wolfman :) )
[/SPOILER]
Tough, tough question.

Does "Wild Pack of Asscracks" count now, due to the Ron Spears reference, or is that pushing the definition of "fan" a bit too far?

I would assume that you can add WPOAC to that list Wolf.  There\'s reference to Joe and Radio Joe.  If this is actually Ron\'s friend, then one can assume that he was an early fan of PB.

"Now Me and Joe really liked this soul"
"If you see Radio Joe and my friend Ron Spears"

Rufus is also a fan.

technically i dont think that would count cause wolf\'s quiz was what songs mention people BY NAME
Title: Kote
Post by: Yoda on January 22, 2008, 03:38:49 pm
That all depends on whether or not they refer to him as Rufus when talking to him.  If they do, I think that a nickname counts.
Title: Kote
Post by: derickw on January 22, 2008, 03:44:28 pm
but was the song written and Rufus named and became a fan or was Rufus a fan and became infamous through a song written about him.

chicken or the egg theory
Title: Kote
Post by: Yoda on January 22, 2008, 03:54:04 pm
I think that it was the later.  I remember Rufus showing up at FF2 and we were wondering how he was going to react to the song.

I\'d file that under its own trivia question.  Ron\'s official title has to be "bass player emeritus" as opposed to just "fan". So the trivia question for that is "Which song references a former band member?"

This song has grown on me a lot lately. A little weird (thats  a good thing) but man, does the jam section ever SHRED though.

Post by: Stephengencs on January 09, 2012, 08:38:14 pm
I equate this song to the biscuits song called Kitchen Mitts......Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww.....        Want a bustout...call for Clean House.....

I\'ve been pimping Kote since 2006 and it never happened.  Remember when my signature was "Kote for President" for about 3 years?

Kote is far from a dew it\'s a fun song with a super raging high octane jam

I have a vague, drunken memory of seeing this song played at a solo tim show at Richter's...  circa 2005/2006
Def. Slept in the volvo wagon that night!

Nice Decade Boost on this threads last post. Lol. I would have to say that you are most likely probably correct.
