could you do me a favour?

A friends is known for telling Stevie Wonder jokes. Harsh and mean. At the wrong time or setting, it can come across as a terrible thing to say.

Have you seen Stevie Wonder's white piano? No? He too hasn't seen it before.
Do you know why he's always shaking his head when he sings? Cause he's looking for his microphone.
Did you know that Eric Clapton got into a car accident last week? Stevie Wonder was driving.

Today, i was listening to hamish and andy on the radio, and they interviewed Stevie Wonder. Like who doesn't know Stevie Wonder? Maybe some of us only heard of him through jokes that a friend makes about him.

It started off with talking about music and inspirations and song writing and yada yada yada. It moved on to a serious subject about his blindness and the lens that he sees the world.

Just as they were about to end the interview, Andy asks for a favour. "Could you please do us a big favour?" He goes on to explain how Hamish and Andy are beginning a caravan tour around Australia.

Now, this is gold. Least expected and quick.

He replies, "What? You want me to drive?"

Anyway, the favour was actually to soothe the aching girlfriend's heart of Andy as the caravaning would be during their anniversary and if the legend could sing just a line or two over the phone to her.
