   Life is too short to wait for them to get their act together, particularly   
   after all the years of putting up with it in the past.

   Maybe not all that easy, but at least straight forward.

   I'd dump someone like that so fast!

   I've done it before - only my keyboard and a mic - play piano and sing...too   
   lonely!   
   Music is for being shared, particularly with a Soulmate!

   Make the punishment fit the  crime, I like that ;)   
   If they want to be sneaky and sabotage the band, they deserve to find   
   themselves on some roadside...but they should think of themselves as being   
   very fortunate because had they pulled their CRAP in something where the   
   stakes are higher, they just might find themselves lying by the roadside   
   with a bullet in their head!
