   Sounds okay, no complaints ;)

   I've never played any gigs like that, maybe I'm fortunate ;)

   I'd Never want to mix Live Music and food! Each of those things requires   
   it's own unique kind of concentration, at least for myself anyway ;)

   Getting disgusting already ;) So the keyboard player cranked up? I just   
   can't relate to such Immaturity!

   Whenever the Truth comes out, particularly when it Verifies other Truth,   
   there's usually a very Deliberate delay in presenting it, if it's presented   
   at all...in which case, it comes to the  surface by itself, sooner or later!

   Homo Stupidicus is by far, the most Stupid of all animals, in fact it's no   
   contest! They repeat history because they Stupidly actually Deliberately   
   WANT to repeat it - they Insist on repeating it. But that's not the worst -   
   they Insist that *everyone* else repeats their Stupidity too!!!   
   Best to STAY FAR AWAY from them!!!

   Those who play too loud very well Know they're playing too loud - but   
   because they're Stupid, they Insist on it, refusing to turn down and   
   attempting everyone else to turn up.

   I seriously doubt that any have done that for you. Rather, not really   
   *wanting* to make the mistakes in the first place, you *learned* from them   
   NOT to repeat them and instead find a better approach - they could  do that   
   too, IF they *really* *wanted* to!   
      
   > Well, it can't be done.   
      
   Sure it can, but by the Individuals themselves, Motivated by their *wanting*   
   to improve!!!   
      
   > This seems a failing of humanity.   
      
   "Humanity" IS the condition of Failing, Truly a Disease, THE Disease that's   
   Destroying everything!!!   
      
   > It's the why of the current resurgence of socialism in this country.   
      
   More like a *greater* resurgence of Socialism, along with Every other kind   
   of EVIL!!!   
      
   > A complete resistance to learning from the past.   
      
   Absolutely!   
      
   > Is rebellion a common thing with youth, or is it cultural ?   
      
   Is it even rebellion in the first place? That's a rhetorical question ;)   
   It's NOT rebellion because genuine rebellion requires lots of Thinking, and   
   effort rather than Mindless Laziness!   
   Rather, I'd call it simple Satanic POSSESSION!!!

   Rejecting what humans say and do, until and unless it checks out First, is   
   always an intelligent approach.   
   Meaning it's Always Necessary to First separate the Truth from the Damn Lies   
   i.e. Questioning, relentlessly!

   That's because not everyone apparently 'taken' to be 'human' really is.   
   Unlike the total Nonsense of the darwinian concept of biological   
   'evolution', evolution of the mind is Very Real! "Humans" are those   
   creatures, known in the Bible as "man", in the absolute lowest, most vile   
   and despicable mental, psychological, and spiritual condition possible.   
      
   In one small sentence, Scripture puts it thusly, in Jeremiah 17:9   
      
   The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can   
   know it?   
      
   With almost 8 BILLION of these Desperately Wicked MONSTERS on the loose on   
   this planet, do we Really Need that many???   
   Do we Really Need ANY MORE???   
   THIS IS A *REAL* HORROR STORY!!!

   Since the Garden of Eden, it has never been anything other than Failed!!!   
   And there are plenty of ashes to go around!

   You seem to be quite evolved yourself, which is why you're mentioning this -   
   way to go!

   They're not serious. Their idea of 'living' is Pretense.
