I Called It Quits Today After 7 Years:

[Inspector #20]

I think I'm starting to understand things more clearly, as nearer to the bottom of the bottle I sink...

 

[Jethro Rocker]

Wow what a change!!
You will have many opportunities come your way. But at least for now you can play because you enjoy it not because you have to.
The relief from no more band politics will ne w eight lifted. Can always start another band at some point.
Best of luck, enjoy it!

[Inspector #20]

This is good...

Sometimes ya gotta stop and smell the Roses, enjoy the friends and family you have and realize just how damn lucky we all are to live in this country that allows for the opportunity to do what ever you desire.

 

[Inspector #20]

Ok,

So i think it's time to stop supporting other musicians. I mean, yes, I enjoyed my work in the studio. It was my home. I knew my job and I did it well. It was comfortable...but I was only a name on a large stack of NDA's. A nobody. Zero. Nothing.

When you listen to the radio and ypu hear your playing, but you cannot claim it, you begin to feel alone and lost. I mean, yes, I agreed to that, but maybe, just maybe, I am good enough to h3adline???

I'm sorry...I guess I just feel like I need to say something..anything..like, "hey, I'm still here..remember me? The kid you picked on...the one you beat on? You know, my feelings mattered. I had dreams too. All I ever wanted was a chance to be something more than what you perceived of me...."

Maybe I...well....there's therapy near the bottom of this bottle...

Yes...I know you are right....I'm stubborn and foolish and set in my ways....

 

[Inspector #20]

Let me tell you, I took these two years seriously. I put everything I had into Bad Dog...and I hated most of the music, but I loved the people and I gave everything I had for that and now, I'm just an.old, wiped out, bitter old fool.

Little did I know that this was pur last show...LOL





Ha! Look how good everyone was feing...lol

At least I have that...

 

[Inspector #20]

Ha, Ha! Tonight, we drink to Bad Dog!

 

[Inspector #20]

Ok, some wife believes in speaking positive things, and the power of speaking positive things, but I'm telling you, its tough for me to do it...

OMG!

Hy crap! That's a magnum if ever I saw one!

 

[Jethro Rocker]

If you hated the music, take a break then find a group of easy going people amd play what you love. Get YOUR name on things you have done! You will rock it!

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

This is a bit of a different turn bro, I am sure you will step out on the positive end of things, enjoy your freedom and play the music you like !!
Cheers
Mitch

It can be absolutely terrifying stepping away from any long term commitment but it sounds like you are doing it for the right reason. You.

Best luck Brother, I do hope we still get to hang out here and have fun.

 

[Inspector #20]

I'm very positive tonight. I am no longer exhausting myself to keep the band going. Job offers in music are pouring in from places that I never expected.
