Peter even mentions prior to "Encore Jam" (Boston Vol.2), that his fellow British players have egos that are too large to get into jams for fear of a little bruising. He was happy that american guitarists (in this case Walsh) were willing to have some fun on stage.
I have a feeling Bob felt small as a player compared to Peter, so he used "chicken killer" as a joke, as to cut the shame he was feeling.  As Jeremy was probably the best slide guitarist in Britian at the time, and Danny Kirwan could've fronted many headline acts in the day, this is the only way it makes any sense. |
i remember reading this years ago and also thinking it was a strange thing for bob to say. i think you and vinnie are correct that this statement reveals as much or more about who said it than it does about who it was said to or about!
i do admire bob very much nonetheless. zero
