| Ok, if you're in a band, you know what
this is about. The
token drunk guy who thinks you care about every opinion he has (and
he has so many). He can be a little condescending, especially
toward females, but he'll stare at your chest & then tell you to
shut up, because that's just the kind of guy he is - a tough guy.
A meat-eating, truck-driving beer drinking son of a mamma's boy,
howdy. You can tell he's been drinking for about 3 days
straight, and once he's at the club, he'll have about 5 or 6 more
drinks (beers, that is). No one is safe from the drunk guy, he'll insult
anyone...anyone except Mark Cook (the nickname given him from the
Drunk Guy, "Cowboy"). And although we normally
appreciate that level of enthusiasm, we especially appreciate
our drummer's ass NOT getting patted from the general public.
Ok, at least not by another guy - maybe he wouldn't mind if it was a
cute girl. So, thank you for not touching the band.
So here it is - our tribute to the
token drunk guy & the evening of fond memories he has left us with.
His identity has been protected, but that is him in the picture
talking to "Cowboy". Notice poor Cowboy's expression.
Like a sitting duck with that Warr Guitar strapped on.
From Mark:
"I'd like to ask the
question why is it always the "Drunk Guy" bothering
the band. The only person who's ever been bothered
by the "Drunk Girl" is Kris. No drunk girls patting
Scott's ass or telling me I'm better than Jimmy
Page....
8( Life isn't fair."

- Scenario: Ok, I'm
privy to seeing the tight stomach of the lovely lead singer from
Love VS Hate (what a sweetheart she is), and I'm trying to call
Mark over to show him the sparkly belly ring & for him to share
in the love.
Drunk Guy: "Shut up,
Sweet Peas. This guy (Mark, aka - Cowboy) is better than
Jimmy Page!"

- Scenario: Our
friends, who have come from Dallas & Austin to see us play are
talking to us on stage, and we're having a great time enjoying
their company.
Drunk Guy: "Hey,
y'all back off! This guy's better than Jimmy Page!
>> Sidenote: (point made by
Cowboy: irony) - "I did think
it was funny Drunk Guy spent quite a large amount of time talking to us
and then he told our friend Brent Frishman when he walked up to
the stage, "Hey, leave them alone so they can play..." true,
Mark, so true.

- Scenario: We're
done playing a soundcheck.
Drunk Guy: "That was
crisp, man. Like, snap! Snap crisp!"
|

- Scenario: Mark &
Scott Miles are discussing the setup & just the music world in
general, because that's what musicians do.
Drunk Guy: walks up
to Scott & pats him on the ass & says "What's it gonna take to
get you behind them thumpers?" Scott is first in shock &
then denial, but later feels the pain & anger of being violated.

- Scenario:
We're hanging out in the bar before we begin our set.
Drunk Guy:
"Man, you guys are cutting
EDGE! I mean that--(pauses briefly, looks down, then looks
straight back up) Hello Snap! You know, I seen lots of
music in my life, I even write my own music on my momma's piano,
but you guys are cutting EDGE! I know what I'm talkin'
about, I may be a supervisor, or a "stupid-visor" (laughs at
himself), but I KNOW music."

Interesting
tidbits: The guy was actually gone before we ever started
playing our set.
He even was wearing a Dallas "Cowboys" cap. |
