Thanks Mac and your brother to post that on the Audiominds forum:
You know you're too old to play gigs when:
- It becomes more important to find a place on stage for your fan than your amp
- Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round of golf.
- All your fans leave by 9:30 p.m.
- All you want from groupies is a foot massage and back rub
- You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most of your playlist
- Instead of fifth member, your band wants to spring for a roadie
- You lost the directions to the gig
- You need your glasses to see the amp settings
- You've thrown out your back jumping off the stage
- You feel like #### before the gig even starts.
- The waitress is your daughter
- You stop the set because your ibuprofen fell behind the speakers
- Most of your crowd just sways in their seats
- 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 check the TV schedule before booking a gig
- Your gig stool has a back
- You're related to at least one member in the band
- You don't let any one sit in
- 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 lay down
- You prefer a music stand with a light
- 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.
- Feeling guilty looking at hot women at the bar 'cause they're younger than your daughter.
- 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.
H/T to my brother Marshall for this one, dunno where he got it, let's make it go viral by Wednesday!
