Re: Can a half hit wonder have a long career? Give examples

This right here - the only reason they had whatever "career" they had is because they never gave up pursuing what never happened for them ITFP. I just checked and both New Thing and Fly High Michelle were Top 40 on the Mainstream Rock chart so that’s TWO half hits. Real fans of the band k...

Re: Poll. what AGE is too old to be wearing BAND OR TOUR T SHIRTS

One is never too old to look stupid in public. It a choice to be made. When I see others look that way, I shake my head. I connected the dots and chose not to look like them. Same goes for checkered vans, Hawaiian shirts and leather "rock" jackets.

Re: WHO IS RAISING THESE PUNKS? ... 20 year old sets fire, lures Fire-Fighters, only to shoot them, killing 2!

Increasingly the answer to "who is raising these punks?" is anything but the parents. Schools have taken a bigger role of the last decades. When a 13 year old can have sex changes without the consent or even knowledge of the parents, you can't argue otherwise. Certainly one's household aff...

Nashville bands don't get paid a penny

Most of the bars on Broadway have 4-5 bands per day. I haven't heard all of them but every one I have says they don't get paid so, if you like what you hear, put a buck in the bucket. Same for bartenders and servers. Great business model if you can get away with it. Anyone here in a band that has, d...
