I use both names depending. If I say his whole name, “Bob Weir” sounds better to me. If it’s just his first name, I’ll usually say “Bobby.” I don’t think I’ve ever said “Bobby Weir.” But that’s just me.
Kinda the same with Kreutzmann. If I say his whole name I usually say “Bill Kreutzmann,” but if it’s just his first name then it’s “Billy.”
I prefer Bobby Weir. The extra syllable makes it roll off the tongue a little more satisfyingly. Bob Weir might as well take the space out between and make it a one name name Bobweir.
Dating back to a time when he looked like a pretty girl. Bobby is used when referring to him during Bobby moments...."Why the hell did Bobby cut off that Scarlet jam?" or "Goddammit Bobby, just fucking tune it already". There are hundreds of case studies of Bobby behavior. It's somewhat of a derogatory label but one that comes with an underbelly of respect. If you don't love the guy, you're not allowed to use it.
I like it when the Bob Star doesn't know what to play next in a deep jam and he'll turn around and pretend to fiddle with his amp or tap the top of amp with his fist
Keep the beard, use whatever name is comfortable. Reading more into it than what he likes to be called or how he thinks of himself is ...<<<<
Before the advent of social networking, I would be inclined to agree with you; however, after reading many posts online "by" Bobby over the past few years or so, I wouldn't be surprised if he has an online mouthpiece (this is hardly to say he is not eloquent/poetic in his own right when we do hear him speak directly). If this is the case, then perhaps he has granted more power to others to promote his image online in more general terms as well?
Rail riders(mid 80's) I knew snuck in umbrellas and would open them in front of the Bobstar when he sang and put them down when he didn't. Bobby was not amused.
Then a rumor went around that by 1988 Bob would take a supplement before going on stage to create less saliva...
"As far as I can tell, the most ideal temperature for sound is between 70∞ and 85∞. Themost ideal humidity is between 40% and 80%."
But he sure sanitizes some things:
"... Like, an example of that would be, during Space Jam if Bobby throws something out at me and I hear something strange, Iíll catch it, do something to it and turn around and throw it back at him. Itís like an audio frisbee game."
BB: How do you and everybody else maintain your energy level on the tour? It wears me out.
DH: Make sure and rest. Donít party ever. I never party after the show. Well I wouldnít say never. The point is that youíve got to be conservative....
BB: What happens after the show? Does everybody go home or to the hotel room?
DH: Well yeah, I just go back to my hotel room, Go to sleep
At the recent Meet-Up At The Movies (Chicago 91), the close-ups of Bob took us right into the heart of the spit zone a few times, but it was like watching the old prop comic Gallagher smash watermelons on TV from the safety of the sofa in your living room. No mess, or need for umbrellas, rain coats, or tarps.
