I'll field this one, since Beatle Bob's story is a St. Louis one. Beatles
Bob is the ultimate music man. It is widely believed that he does have a day
job, but no one has been able to figure out what it is since he's a very
private man. Back in the early 90's, it used to be a badge of honor for Bob
to show up at your gig and dance at the stage while one performed. That is,
until I saw him dancing for the most horrible groups as well as the good
ones!
He has a very original dancing style which no one has been able to
duplicate. He truly is a dedicated music nut and his eccentricities are well
established among St. Louis bands and some national acts. His presence on
the local music scene has raised the question of his motivations. Is he
there to celebrate the artists and their music or for his own self promotion
as a local character? He insists that he is there to honor the music, but
appearances indicate otherwise to some.
He knows an awful lot about music and not many people know that he has an
encyclopedic knowledge of baseball--right off the top of his head! Despite
the issues I've raised, he's been very nice to me over the years and if he
wants to turn his passions into some sort of documented celebrity, I guess
that's OK. As members of the cult of personality go, he's a lot more
interesting than Paris Hilton, although admittedly not quite as fetching.
