High, Blind Drunk, or just a mild astigmatism?

It's been said that Neal wears shades all the time because they are prescription sunglasses for poor vision.
Personally, I believe that's as likely as JSS's torn jeans serving the medical purpose of keeping his balls well-ventilated on stage.

Many of the bandmembers are known for partaking in the ganja every now- (I mean, c'mon, they ARE 70's era musicians from San Francisco, afterall) and it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest if Neal was really just suffering from a nightly case of puffer's pink eye.

This shouldn't come as a controversial shock to anyone.
In fact, I have several musician friends who always light up during writing sessions.
It spurs their creative juices.

It's funny, but the material never seems nearly as brilliant when you finally come down.
One time I awakened to find myself quizzically starting at two pages worth of lyrics about a Polar bear shaving his ass!
But, I digress, what do you all think?

i think he wears shades just to look cool, but now its part of his uniform like the purple shirt!! but i voted its because hes a vammm- piiirrree....

First of all it's astigmatism not "stigmatism". But that's ok. Ur command of the English language is usually far far better than mine. Everyone is entitled to 1 faux pax here & there.

But erm crucifix? I always tho't Neal is Jewish? We used to talk about his Jewish afro back in the day.

Love the one about JSS's balls tho.

Well, fuck me.

I'd change it if I could. I also want to go back and add the option of people telling me to step away from the crackpipe.

Ok. Fixed.
Still want posters to be able to vote to tell me where exactly to go shove my bong.

LOL. U know last coupla times I saw them in FL he didn't have shades on. Maybe his eyes feel better in humidity? Damned it I know.

[A Fire Inside]

I think he just thinks they make him look cool.

He hasn't aged particularly well around the face, so I say good move either way.

[Rockindeano]

Neal is blind as a bat...

[Barb]

He took the glasses off lastnight -- did most of the show without them. Sammy Hagar wore his for the entire show. I thought it was because he didn't want to look old.

[Marabelle]

Bingo! My thoughts exactly. I agree with Fire; I don't think he aged well. Lifestyle baby! and, smoking! Egads!

[The_Noble_Cause]

I never knew there were soo many prissy primadonnas on this board.
If Neal smokes like a fiend I sure don't see it.
You guys make his face out to be a piece of dried smoked hickory jerky, or the Marlboro man's ballbag or something.

Now that's funny!

Probably for coolness factor...kinda like Steve Vai....

But that's just me...

Yea, yea. We know you do.

Yea it did, D-head.

I'm sick of reading the homo -erotic fantasies and ravings of this guy who used to have "Perry's bed...but waiting for a chane in JSS'" in his frigging location.

Now get thee down to the dvd forum and hit me up on my question.

You're a trusting soul, then.

I'm thinking light-in-the-loafers myself.

[Moon Beam]

Rubiconman what good news exactly are you
almost dying from? (avatar location)
I am curious.

I think he wears the shades to look cool
and because his vision is poor.

Yeah, sounds like somebody fresh off the Steve Talk board........You have no idea, dude. They take disgusting to a new level.

[Marc S]

Wear sunglasses - Its much less hassle and much cheaper than having his eye bags done - they are all about mid 50s.....

Hey TNC, I think you forgot one option, Neal is just a money grubbing piece of shit asshole of a human being that just a small step above Perry. And for all his talent as a guitarist doesn't give a shit about the fans, his integrity or even other members of the band that have been with him from the beginning, so he hides his stupid ass behind those stupd loocking fucking sunglasses.

Whoa, Cubby. Some evidence of this please?

Hey NIG, I know you love Neal, so do I, but lets be honest, just look at the history of the band. At every turn Neal took the path of money over any integrity or loyalty to boys that started this band together. That just a fact, everyone always goes off on Perry being a self serving, controlling prick and while I agree with that, Neal as a person doesn't rate much higher in my eyes. No offense to you bud.

Thanks for the feedback.
Unfortunately, once you create a poll you can't go back and make revisions/modifications.
Which is too bad for guys like me who tend to shoot from the hip.

Neal may have the ethical backbone of a jellyfish, but I personally think the shades look cool.
If that sounds disproportionately queer-eye, I apologise in advance.

Neal is hiding, Noble. The eyes are the window to your soul and Neal has to be afraid someone might see into his.

Very profound, I like it.
Where do you find the time between watching Montel Williams and scarfing bon-bons to come up with this stuff?

Yay, Mr TurnDownNeal'sAmps himself weighs in.

fuckin scary how rapidly you were doubtless able to conjure up that pic of SP's peepers.
