You know you're getting to old to play when...

  • All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m.
  • You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most of your playlist.
  • Instead of a fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie.
  • You lost the directions to the gig.
  • You feel like hell before the gig even starts.
  • You find your drink tokens from last month's gig in your guitar case.
  • You refuse to play without earplugs.
  • You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 instead of 9:30.
  • You need a nap before the gig.
  • After the third set, you bug the club owner to let you quit early.
  • During the breaks, you now go to the van to lie down.
  • You don't recover until Tuesday afternoon.
  • You hope the host's speech lasts forever.
  • You buy amps considering their weight and not their tone or cool factor.
  • You can remember seven different club names for the same location.
  • You have a hazy memory of the days when you could work 10 gigs in 7 days and could physically do it.



  • Computers have changed our lives forever...

    AUTO REPAIR
    A blonde pushes her BMW into a gas station. She tells the mechanic it died. After he works on it for a few minutes, it's idling smoothly.
    She says, "What's the story?"
    He replies, "Just crap in the carburetor."
    She asks, "How often do I have to do that?"

    THE VACUUM
    A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?" She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

    ==================================

    Before there were computers...
    Memory was something you lost with age
    An application was for employment
    A program was a TV show
    A cursor used profanity
    A keyboard was a piano
    A web was a spider's home
    A virus was the flu
    A CD was a bank account
    A hard drive was a long trip on the road
    A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
    And if you had a 3 inch floppy . . . . . . .
    you just hoped nobody ever found out!
