Keanu Reeves. Don't be sad, Keanu. You're playing bass. Maybe even playing it well.. I have no idea, and probably never will. But I'll tell you what, Man of Tai Chi, John Wick and 47 Ronin is a pretty good comeback tour. Enjoy the cool breeze coming off that bass. [image: Inline image 1]

This guy is Bob Babbitt (RIP), of the Funk Brothers.Think about that while you check out his blissful, confident, "I am the fucking BASSIST in a band known as THE FUNK BROTHERS", "HOLY SHIT DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH FUNK I AM BRINGING TO THE TABLE, RIGHT NOW", "NEWSFLASH: You don't." bassface.

This guy doesn't give a fuck what happens while playing bass? Need to drive to the store? Fuck that, still playing bass. Find myself on an obstacle course on the way to DQ? Fuck THAT, still playing bass. Up on two wheels like the fuckin' Duke boys? FUCK THAT, gonna stand up on the transmission hump and play some fuckin' monster goddamned bass. Thanks to redditor nschneider92 for posting where I could see it.
