    Hope you get to feeling better man. And I agree. I work for a company that was bought by private equity and it’s just hot fucking garbage. Multiple times a day I dream of setting the equity partners on fire.

      Appreciate it. I did a 45 minute set tonight and now I’m getting drunk. The bad shit is all melting away!

      I worked for a company where that happened a decade and change ago. It was a total shit show. I was lucky and got out.

          Heavy rock music, mostly pop covers that we converted but we had to play my friend’s original about fucking his ex girlfriend’s sister about halfway through and a blues/rockabilly song another friend wrote about only missing a woman when he’s drunk to close out.

          Now I’m watching a hard rock band cover a bunch of shit from the 50s. This is pretty cool.

              Usually is! Except the time my lead guitar player/singer got too drunk before we went on and pissed himself then passed out halfway through the set.

              I’m a Texas Drunk. He’s almost THE Texas Drunk. Except that trophy belongs to a friend that doesn’t live here anymore who I’ve personally watched kill half a handle of whisky and be functional enough to get a ride home.

                When I used to drink I was somewhere closer to your singer than the trophy holder.

                So glad weed helped me quit drinking.

                  It’s hard out here. They get drug tests because of the nature of their jobs. Weed just isn’t for me. I wish it was because the calorie count is so much lower.

                    Fair. I’ve been job hunting, so I stopped smoking for the last few weeks. But it was much easier than quitting drinking ever was.

                    If you aren’t aware already check out Leo Morrachioli

                    Does metal covers of pop songs. Hes fantastic. Highly recomend his version of toss a coin to your witcher, and watching the video for final countdown just to see him “bring out the smaaaall drums!”
