holly

I know I give him a lot of shit

(like here!)

And wouldn’t if I didn’t think he could take it

But he can

And usually laughs harder than anyone else

You know what my favourite thing about Holly is?

Watching the kind of friend he is to Dad

In this business you meet a lot of people

Many, particularly in Dad’s case

Aren’t around you for the right reasons

It’s important to sort the arseholes from the real mates

Holly may work for Dad

But first & foremost, they are friends

Their respect for each other is constant

They were friends before Holly became Dad’s tour manager

And they’ll be buds long after Dad retires

(like THAT’S ever going to happen)

They’ll probably have adjoining rooms in the old people’s home

God help the nurses in that joint

They’re like an old married couple sometimes

Finishing each other’s sentences

Telling secrets & giggling

They make each other laugh

I think the fact that their personalities are polar opposite to one another

Is what makes it work

Holly’s very sensible

Dad – not so much

Dad loves to shop

Holly fucking hates it

Dad has hair

Holly’s bald

I could go on & on

Dad has 4 brothers

You could count Holly as his 5th

Brothers from another mother, as they say

Holly’s mother obviously had legs
