How to Appreciate Death Metal

I love that step #7 is - Respect the Artist because "The greatest death metalists almost can't make a living with what they do, and yet the musicians in these bands continue to soldier on in spite of their obscurity."

Plus the warning that should "you become enamored with death metal, be prepared for more raised eyebrows and grimaces".

With all this knowledge, I think I'll go make fun of my death metal friend some more.

Current Mood: arrgggg!

dave,
ponderings

Thoughts to Ponder . . .

Why are ~~men~~ boys stupid 99.99999%* of the time?

My friend Dave is in a band. Now, I've known Dave a few months shy of 20 years. We keep in touch, sporadically, but we keep in touch. Even though I don't really appreciate the music his band plays, I try to support the band whenever we are both in the same location. Because I know that I can't rely on Dave to keep me posted on when they are going to be in the SF area, I rely on another friend to give me dates and location. He was in town yesterday playing at the Elbo Room. The last time I saw him I told him to call me before the show and I would buy or cook him dinner. So smart-ass calls me as they are leaving SF to go to LA this morning. (yes, I skipped the Elbo Room last night. I couldn't sacrifice my ears to talk to him for 10 minutes)

Someone please explain to me why men act stupid? Although I'm sure any explanation will confound me even more, but there has to be some reasoning behind the acts of stupidness.

*Percentage is an estimate. The exact percentage could be higher in some cases.

Weedeater

Not that anyone cares, but I have upcoming dates where Weedeater will be performing.
Thanks to you know who you are, what would I do without you?

I won't waste time with too many details. They start 07/05/05 in Albuquerque, NM
and end in Sauget, IL on 7/18/05. It's mid-America/west coast places.

There will be a stop in SF on 07/10/05 at Slims where they will be supporting
Corrosion of Conformity, Fu Manchu, and ATP.

I'm actually more excited about COC. Such a throwback to high school for me.
Now the decision is whether I go to this show or not . . .
