Buddy Mac White

 

Buddy Mac White

     This is a bastardization of the true quote "Buddy, White, Mac" that came out of the long-running cohabitation of Sheehy and Brian on Saturn street in good old Los Angeles. The two tight buds lived in  harmony for years in an old luxury apartment in what is now called the Pico-Robertson neighborhood on the planet inspired street that stretched from west of La Brea all the way past La Cienega. The Saturn street pad was a cornucopia of stories and sayings but this one was a simple note left by the Bobcat reminding Greg about trash day. While Greg was not a guy who forgot such things Bob wanted to make sure. To break down the sentence. "Buddy" was a common description of a roomie to a roomie. Greg was buddy to Bob and Bob was buddy to Greg. They were actually such good buds that Bobcat was Greg's best man in his historic wedding to Lissy. "Mac" was another word for a friend but more generic since here it means "your attention needed." "White stems from the saying heard at a Ram game when a non-fan had to be informed that "The Rams are in White" which was known by everyone in the stadium. Here, the "White" meant I know you know but here it is to make sure you know. We know now, the trash was taken care of and the buds remained tight forever. Saturn street was a spacious, comfortable dwelling where many joints and butts were smoked, un-filtered apple juice was sipped and the Zero-100 played all the musical favorites of the day. The note is truly a document of how like-minded pals need few words to communicate since their wavelength is cool and groovy.
