She said, "I' haven't heard about that".

Well I guess Katrina wasn't a tennis player.

LOL!

Oh man, I'd have thought playing piggy in the middle with the Williams sisters would be hard to beat in terms of a beat-up.

She probably thought they said Martina, so therefore she hadn't heard about her creating any sort of disaster which injured people

I think you may be on to something there.

But still there is the question of SKIPPY's whereabouts (or fate ). It floats in the air like a dark cloud above UnicorNation.

Has he found love? A better life? Or is he (if it's a he) lying in some road, his very life flickering like a defective iLok dongle?

"Game, Mr. Skippy.
Mr. Skippy leads 3 games to two, fourth set."

"Have you found her 'phone number yet?".

Have you ever had a great musical idea in the middle of the night, gotten out of bed and written down or recorded a few bars--only to realize in the morning that it's the most embarrassingly bad piece of shittake in creation

(whew, got that one through the filters, James)

LOL!

Yup. Classic.
I figured it must've all been about context.

That's what separates the good musicians from the bad - a good musician may still drop a turdkey every now and then, but he will soon realize it's stinky-ness and flush it down the digital toilet where it belongs. The bad musician will just polish that bad boy up and stick it on MySpace.

.......the painful irony is how many of those polished loads end up making loads.......of cash, that is.

Bumper Sticker of the Day:

"Real Musicians Have Day Jobs"

Saw that one on the drive into my day job....and it made me smile.


(My apologies if this offends any of you that are full time musicians - I don't mean to say that you are *not* real musicians..........I am green with envy over you guys.......I just found the bumper sticker encouraging....)

No, I'll bet some of the full-time pro musicians secretly have Dilbert envy.

I was talking to a concert violinist once and when I mentioned that I was a musician, she asked, "So what do you do in real life?"

Hmmm.

Maybe told her that you were a music critic for The Boston Globe?

Try not to focus on beating the filters, okay?

I heard a similar story by a comedian. He would dream he was doing these hysterically funny stand-up routines, so he decided to keep a little tape recorder by his bedside so he could wake up and record the routines he dreamt before he forgot them. He said the first morning after he had done just that, he woke up and eagerly rewound the tape recorder to hear what gems he had dictated that night. When he pressed play all that was on the tape was incoherent, unintelligible rambling!

That's great

real musicians never work they only create
