I laughed out a few times. I had my toddler son laughing because I was laughing.

And it's true... I'm not that smart... though I am 6'1" 165 lbs and I can palm a basketball.

Yeah, the stuff about the vocalist was not only exactly correct, but described in a way that had me laughing like an idiot.
I thought he could've done better on the bass description, and the trombone was too cliched.
The part about negotiating with the club owner is totally unrealstic.
Overall though, it's the narration I've always wanted to write.

In fact, I've been kicking around the idea of something similar, except describing driving in New Jersey.

Hilarious -- I've read this a few times, it's always awesome. I couldn't believe how accurate some these were until a few months ago though...
