In 2007, I saw former Sun City Girls guitarist Sir Richard Bishop open for Animal Collective. During the show, he told the audience that he was over 500 years old. There is only one explanation for this fact: Sir Richard Bishop is a dragon. Sir Richard Bishop is going on tour this winter. If you don’t want to go, it means you don’t want to go see a dragon, and, let’s be honest, that is stupid. Also, Bill Callahan is playing some of the dates and, while he is not a dragon, he is pretty damn good.
