'cause it's only ok to work such a job if you're going to school so you can get a "real" job later. An ironic thing sometimes happens with that attitude though. Sometimes people think "I'm better than that." and they go straight for the "real" job but no one will hire them because they have no past experience to back them up so they remain jobless and living with their parents until they're 30 which, by these standards, makes them a bigger "loser".Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406568414941043616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-74354626214309192582010-07-13T23:37:23.857-05:002010-07-13T23:37:23.857-05:00I'm no singer (musician by trade, but can'...I'm no singer (musician by trade, but can't sing worth a shit) but I think a lot of people don't realize the delicacies of having your instrument be a part of your body - eating or drinking the wrong thing at the wrong time, illness, allergies etc can impact the performance from night to night.
