Brother Joe Appreciation Thread

[DMAN]

Today we gather to pay our respects to the man who is responsible for hooking up his brother Anthony with Opie Radio at WBAB.

Anthony was too afraid or too lazy to knock on the door himself, so his stand-in father figure Joe took up the responsibility and did more for Anthony than Anthony himself was willing to do for him.

Sure, Anthony plugged Joe's dates and he pays out per their agreement (which you may think is silly, but it is a legally binding endeavor.) But Anthony always promised Joe he was going to be on the show. Turns out, Anthony went into business for himself and packed up to move to Boston.

Yeah they played some of Joe's songs. So did Ron & Fez, and Whatley was never even Joe's true brother in law, only in spirit. They did as much for Joe as his own brother did as far as air time. And then Anthony went and bashed the Guilty By Association podcast by bring up the guitars? Kinda stupid to talk about your elder like that, who looked out for you, who made you, literally dressed you and tied ya shoes... Oh wait, are we talking about Brother Joe... or Opie Hughes???

The Black Earl parody song that Brother Joe did is an instant classic, and without Anthony's input.

There seems to be a pattern here. OH, Anthony!!!

I lost the photo but I remember howling at someone making a penis with his head on it.

As loathsome as he is, there's something almost endearing about his knack for buffoonery. His brother is too self-aware, and knows full well what a detestable scumbag he is, but Joe is oblivious, and has no idea how stupid and comical he appears to others. He makes his idiocy seem effortless, organic, totally natural. In the olden days, he'd be the fat guy in the silent movie, standing on the curb being splashed with puddle water by a passing ice wagon with a stupid look on his face. With Nana, there's always that malevolent ambiance, with the pedophilia, full-blown alcoholism, and virulent racism, but with Joe it's almost like slapstick comedy.

Nah, Joseph is a harmless fool but he’s still a bag of shit. Do you guys forget his lengthy rants and shady activities with Kurt Love, and his bragging about taking the sub down? His “meticulous filing” of DMCAs?

FUCK THE COW!
