WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
I was at Salute to Supernatural Phoenix this past weekend, and was lucky enough to hear almost the entire cast sing a rendition of Prince’s Purple Rain as the last song of the night. It was an incredible performance, especially to know that they hadn’t really had too much time to rehearse it beforehand.
The last song of the Saturday Night Special has traditionally always been With A Little Help From My Friends, as a sort of tribute to everything Rob Benedict went through and how his Supernatural family helped him overcome everything. I loved hearing Purple Rain, but I did miss With A Little Help From My Friends. I can understand though that like everything in life, we have to move on from things. That song meant something to a particular time, but Rob is doing really, really well now, and maybe we are meant to move forward and embrace a new kind of symbolism.
With a Little Help From My Friends was so evocative to me. I just have to hear the first few strains of that song now and I am immediately in a darkened panel room across the ocean somewhere, my heart in my throat, watching Rob bouncing on his heels psyching himself up to sing the last song of the night. I am physically incapable of getting through the song without ugly crying. The whole song my heart is simultaneously beating way too fast and way too slow, and I wait for that moment in the song where everything stops and suddenly Rob screams (you know the part) and it’s the one shot I wait all night to get. If I can get that photo, I don’t need anything else.
 
But it’s like everything in life; we experience, we learn, and we move on. There may not be anything else that makes me feel the same way that song and that experience did but that’s okay. There will be new challenges, new experiences.
We don’t need symbolism, we have the most important part of that experience, Rob himself, and that’s really all we need.
Not a photo, not a song. Just Rob Benedict himself <3
