Smell The Glove

EDIT: The video link is already NOT WORKING -- damn copyright laws, it was one of my favorites too. Buy the movie Spinal Tap and fast forward to the part where they play Stonehenge and THAT's what I was trying to share with you all. You should already OWN this movie anyway -- it is a total classic.

Years back, I tried the "band" thing -- and then tried it again -- and again -- and kept ON trying to get people together to become the newest & greatest rock gods; unfortunately none of these projects were or ever became especially commercially viable. Everything I was part of as a "band" always began with lots of potential and infinite possibilities but something always ultimately led to its own implosion. Whether it was a drummer who had to get so F'ed up before a show that he blew his parts and wouldn't sing the tunes he was supposed to or guys simply not showing up for rehearsals or me leaving the band in the lurch while I moved up by Boston (Whoops! sorry guys...) Anyway it was back in my EARLY days in one (or more) of these "bands", created back in the early 90s with me being just a kid going on auditions for guys who were probably about my age now (much older than 16 or 17) and who really thought that they were to cool for school... Looking back they really remind me of ... (drumroll here) Spinal Tap!!! IF you have seen the movie then you know exactly what I am talking about -- guys taking themselves WAY too seriously and maybe even believing a little TOO much in their own ability and ROCKitude. I had fun and learned a lot in those days -- I learned what I did NOT want to be and how easy it is to be lame. One band mate who shall go nameless actually suggested the band name be 'Visionquest' (wasn't that a crappy 80's movie?) In hindsight I should have probably just quit the band at that point but it was over a year later and he was coming over looking to pick up his drums for the last time. Oh well...
