Goop can be a good thing. Hahaha
Faux crab. Lol . Can charge more for that
We saw Willie when he played Manchester in about 2010. It was actually a disappointing performance - it felt rushed as though he wanted to get off stage as soon as poss. No personality. No rapport with the audience. No encore. Just stood there sang and went.

Aw, that sucks. Maybe he was having a shit day, but as they say āthe show must go on,ā especially when peeps paid good money to see ya.
Our one time, he was playing with good buddy Merle Haggard. Had another old buddy, Waylon Jennings, been on stage too, it would likely have made the show almost more than we could bear ā especially since Emmylou Harris was the star opener, if memory serves . . .

I have seen him twice. The first time was around 17 years ago, in a big indoor arena/ hockey stadium/ concert hall. The acoustics were terrible. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band opened, and they were great. The acoustics seemed to work better for them. We could barely hear Willie.
When I saw him in 2019, it was at an outdoor amphitheatre next to Lake Ontario in Toronto. His voice carried this time. A completely different and much better concert for me. He did seem to connect with the audience at my second concert.
That would have been a show to see.
The Grateful Dead and Willie Nelson in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, July 1 1978. It was lit and so were we.

How about āersatz crabā and āglutinous sauceā?

āDuck sauceā, in New England, is typically apricot preserves cut with commercial applesauce and then flavored with a touch of soy sauce and rice vinegar. That being said, the majority of places these days bring in entirely commercial sweet goo, with no trace of apple or apricot to be seen.
A nice treat, if one is going to go to the trouble of making (or even just eating) a good (YMMV) crab rangoon, is to have the duck sauce from The Woks of Life on hand, which skips the applesauce in favor of more traditional pickled plum:
And, while they donāt have a crab rangoon recipe on their site, you can doctor the Cream Cheese Wonton recipe, by scaling back the 8 oz. of cream cheese to 5-6 oz. and making up the remainder with finely chopped surimi (krab). I also like to add 1/4-1/2 t. curry powder (and a pinch of cayenne). Skip the sugar in the recipe (if you are me).

I didnāt have duck sauce until I moved to NYC. In Ontario, the egg rolls and spring rolls come with plum sauce. Similar type of sweet sauce, but a light brown colour instead of an orange colour.

The brown sugar mixture in Joanne Changās sticky buns is called Goo. Pretty close to goop. Ever since I read that recipe, I have thought to myself, goo and goop could be a good thing!

Iām imagining a flatbread w/ a cream cheese āsauceā with onion and ginger dotted with (maybe real?) crab, green onions, and a drizzle of that gloppy āsweet chiliā sauce.
I would eat the hell outta that.

ACK-shully itās even closer. The Klingon version is āgaghā and is āa delicacy made from serpent wormsā.
I believe the final consonant has that sort of guttural back-of-the-throat sound
