Adi Da (Bubba Free John) party transcript from the early days – Godfree’s wedding
Posted anonymously at Lightmind web site and now at Adi Da Archives
Last night I listened to a raw, unedited tape recording I have of a party at Bubba's house, one night about 25 years ago. It's of very poor quality, and has a lot of background noise and hiss.
But there were a lot of things that were possible to hear, and I'll share some of the more interesting excerpts here.
There are quite a few people over at Bubba's for the party, lots of drinks being passed around and the flick of cigarette lighters is audible.
The mood is very jocular and really quite ridiculous in hindsight, similar to the high school parties we all used to go to.
With one exception.
There's one guy who has a constant monologue going -- he's the center of attention and really embarrassingly lame to listen to. It is difficult to imagine being drunk enough to put up with this obnoxious bore. The guy, of course, is Bubba.
Bubba is calling all the guys "cocksuckers" and going on and on about all kinds of mindless stupidity.
Bubba is making jokes about Vince's cock being 7-8" too short for Susan, and saying there's no way anything like a marriage could work between them.
Familiar voices can be heard in the background, but some of them are hard to make out over the hiss. Dennis Duff's voice and Duncan's laugh are heard, Terry Patten's name is spoken. Gene Dougherty and Adrienne are there.
Vince, Craig, Sal and Bubba are doing shooters together.
Bubba: "How about Godfree and Michelle, do they want to get married?"
Another person: He's still in love with his wife, Bubba.
Bubba: (to Godfree) "I've met your previous wife and she's a fat and ugly little stupid asshole. I can't possibly have you representing the dharma while married to that cunt hole .... Now personally, I don't give a shit if they (Godfree and Michelle) want to get married or not .... Michelle (a black woman) has been trying to get white cock all of her life."
Bubba: (to unknown person) "he knew you were a whore when he married you."
Bubba: (to another unknown person) "fucking girl, can't walk, can't talk, can't do shit."
Bubba: "has everyone consummated their recent marriages?"
Bubba then talks about Dennis Duff coughing up $100,000 for 450 more acres at Persimmon.
Bubba: "I have a divorce to declare. Where is Louise?
Someone else: "At home with the kids."
Bubba: "Sal and Louise are divorced as of tonight. Sal can have a separate room with some other gentleman, some other faggot. They (Sal and Louise) can do without their children and without one another."
Louise comes in later and they all laugh.
Bubba: "Who else needs a divorce?"
Mostly just background noise is audible, so it's hard to follow a lot of what's going on. The feeling I had after listening to it was that the whole event was one of the most boring and stupid gatherings I could imagine. Here was one guy, monopolizing virtually all of everyone's attention, spouting off one little put-down after another and enforcing his dominance over everyone. It was so incredibly transparent and obvious what he was up to. He sounded like a drunken high school boy spitting out locker room jokes with his buddies and putting them all down just to prove he was the coolest guy in the group.
Bubba is a huge, inflated ego, sitting up there grabbing for everyone's attention, needing them all to know that he's the big shot there. What a guy!
Unbelievable. He's like, totally lame, dude!
