Well I gotta say, pretty intense stuff. I'm thinkin', well then, what's this guy into? Read some of your previous posts, and wow, you go to a LOT of shows! -

So I'm trying to put this together Ab. intellectualizing about the meaning of Bob's words, origins, etc., that is simply an absurd waste of time. However, intellectualizing about all the shows one goes to, and bragging about your rail scores(groupie??), just going on and on
critiqing shows, etc, THAT is where it is at.
Then found this gem a few pages down. Your honesty is refreshing! And you are a good critic, no doubt about it. Good reading - great intellectualizing there Ab!! This one is my favorite so far -

"I've gotten in massive fights at many many shows "
I'm shocked!
Good theater though - high comedy.
Seems like you fly everywhere to see Bob - I'm jealous!
However, where does this fit into that lifestyle?
"I’d never waste the only life I have over
a performing artist"
With you, it's life AND a lot of money. Must be nice.
Maybe it was a typo - you would waste your life AND your money. Got it!
