I think I might belong here because I just had a big, pity party for myself, was crying my eyes out a few minutes ago, now laughing my butt off at this thing my sister sent me. I know she ain't right, and I'm worse than she is
Hope you say I can belong because I don't seem to fit anywhere at all
I know I fit in here. When I first started rock climbing back in the early 70's every one of my friends and other people that I told what I was doing all told me that I was crazy. That went on for only one year. I got the message. So I learned to never tell so called normal people what I was doing. I was having a blast mastering all kinds of what is now labeled extreme sports. And I was not caring if normal people living for those new clothes down at Collège High on the mall looked good or not. I had acquaintances from each group of people that were experts at their acquired skills. None of us were crazy.
Part of one of those groups is musicians. My favorite topic is death on stage. I love it when an artist tries out a new entertainment concept and it falls flat on its face. That's death. In fact this national touring company has an end of the year party and all the bands and managers gather together down in Florida for an end of tour bash. They give out the "face to the glass award" as one of the honors. This is what it means. Imagine that you are in a B-25 Mitchel medium sized WWII bomber. The entire front end is made of glass. You have your face planted all the way up and smudged against the glass. Now the bomber is headed straight for the ground where the nose hits first. That's "face to the glass." They actually vote who won for the best stage death. The musicians want that award more than any of the others for some crazy reason.
..wait... *i* am a musician... I live in an RV.. hell, i ain;t been right since I was dropped on my head as a baby... least ways thats what the chiropractor said about my neck...
