Rock Music Doesn’t Pay
Last night I was playing Rock Band with my wife and brother-in-law. We finished a four-song set at which we completely ROCKED!
We gained 40,000 fans. And we got paid $15.
Is this a commentary on illegal file-sharing?

@Pat R.:
I play guitar, because I can sight-read on expert. When I have the house to myself or can wrest the sticks away from my brother-in-law, I’ll get up to speed on drums.

I too can sight-read guitar on expert, but I prefer the challenge of drums on hard, and sometimes expert, if the song is tame enough. It’s also more enjoyable when the fills come along. But don’t even get me started on The Who on drums. What did they feed Keith Moon? I can’t even keep up with him on hard.

Speed and vodka. Lots of speed and vodka.

$15? That sounds about right. I’ve been paid with coupons before.

I feel like the next entry should concern the election, unless you had something planned. Nothing partisan that would start a flame war, but maybe where the candidates stand on string theory versus loop gravity theory (I think that’s what it’s called), federal funding for research into time travel, military contracts for the production of ROFL-copters, and the like.

Sorry for the double post, but I felt it necessary to mention that Stephen Colbert read my mind and did a story about how the LHC flipped the voting majority to the Democrats’ side. He posits that since it came online in mid-September, the same time the McCampaign started losing momentum, the Collider must’ve propelled us into an alternate, parallel universe where “Barack Obama is our president and the Phillies are World Champions.”
