Banana Fanna

Anyone who has a nickname knows one thing about it: someone else sticks it on you.  I got stuck with "Chuck" way back in college thanks to Randy's obsession with the song, The Name Game.  He latched onto the fact that my last name was Bobuck.  My name predated the existence of that song by many years of course.  My parents did not have the sense of humor to have named me Chuck Bobuck anyway.  But it played right into Randy's sense of the absurd.  When we met, it was like he had gotten a wonderful new toy to play with.  A Bobuck.

For a while, no one was spared Randy's Name Game.  Randy wouldn't be Randy if he didn't overdo things.  Most people ignored him, but the "Chuck" stuck.  Few people referred to me that way until the Talking Light tour.  Randy introduced me to the world as "Chuck" because to Randy, that is who I will always be.  Chuck Chuck Bobuck.
