He used my fallback gear and proceed to go all Jimi Hendrix all over the music.<br />I should haved stopped the show and beat him within an inch of the law right on stage, but I didn't. Not my style anyway.<br />But everyone saw his nonsense, and my humorous approach to it all, and I scored huge points and a ton of fan respect, even though they were all, "dude, you should have kicked his a**, everyone was hoping you would." They were really hoping for the JK version of that Ataris live vid.<br /><br />But I'm pretty much alone in terms of a pro attitude.<br /><br />Every band in my town pretty much hates each other for some real or imagined petty grevence. Sad. 20k residents, 50 or so solid players and no music scene to speak of. It's like living in a live version of the Ataris response video.<br /><br />To misquote Charles Shultz;"I love music, it's the musicians I can't stand."<br /><br />CheersJef Knightnoreply@blogger.com
