   That trait is FAR from being limited to humans, most other animals have it   
   as well.   
      
   > most people don't like being " told " what to do.   
      
   The only time I ever have a problem with that is when I don't AGREE with   
   what I'm told what to do - in other words, when it's Justified!   
      
   > to learn something, a person has to want to know it.   
      
   Yes, they must actually want to learn, and know...the TRUTH, and that seems   
   to be something most are disposed to avoid, literally at all costs...and   
   those costs are Very, and often TOO High!

   If a horse isn't thirsty, what would be the point in trying to get the horse   
   to drink in the first place?

   I've always known that...only problem is that is if ANYONE in the band does   
   that, it's then it's no longer a band!!!

   Just because I'm not an Elvis fan doesn't mean I don't know he was a very   
   talented performer. His style of rock & roll was of the older, original   
   variety, while the genre was still just starting out and becoming   
   established, and often had a certain 'country'-like 'flavor' to it, which   
   would later be given the silly term of 'rockabilly', a style I never   
   personally really cared for all that much...mostly because I'm a hippie rock   
   & roller and into more mind expanding and psychedelic styles with powerful   
   jams, messages, effects, and overall trippiness ;)   
      
   > That's a pet peeve of mine. Band people who want to go as easy and lazy as

   Lazy/'easy' is a pet peeve with me about ANYthing! And it Demonstrates   
   Apathy, Indifference, and Heartlessness...which has NO PLACE in Music or   
   ANYthing else!!!   
      
   > By the time we got warmed up and playing well, the show would be over.   
      
   That's why I Love *long* shows - Concerts!   
      
   > Elvis didn't have that problem.   
      
   That's because he Loved what he was doing!!!   
      
   > They started that concert hot and stayed hot.   
      
   That's only doing things Right!

   Maybe it was to give everyone some exercise for their musicianship   
   skills...so they wouldn't get bored ;)   
      
   I can dig that!
