   A manager? sounds like what they really need is a NANNY!!!   
      
   MENTALLY UNSTABLE seems to be the best description!   
      
   First they crank up when it's *your* hearing that's at risk, but when you   
   eliminate that risk, suddenly it's too loud for *them*!!!   
      
   But don't knock bands because they Obviously have no idea of what a band   
   really is!!!

   That part is fine. Diversity means versatility and capability...but ONLY   
   *IF* they FIRST Truly Understand and *practice* COOPERATION...because a band   
   is a TEAM!...and *Must* Literally Work in CONCERT!!

   That's almost like demanding that they actually GROW UP! ;)

   That' because being a Nanny for big Immature Spoiled Brats is a Bummer!

   Did he actually want to do that?   
   In view of all the weirdness lately, I was wondering.

   Maybe they should get more *serious* about getting involved in such things   
   because it seems downright Bizarre that such incompetence in those matters   
   wouldn't in some way be reflected in the band's performance as well.
