Groupie or Roadie

Sign in to disble this ad
So, I'm talking to my lovely wife of 14 years before I go to a gig a few weeks back, and said(in my sexiest Barry White tone)....Baby, you gonna be my groupie. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "No." She then proceeded with, "why don't you call Jennifer(a really good friend of mine's wife)....maybe she'll be your groupie. So I stop for a few seconds in disbelief, because I think my wife is telling me to go bone my friend's wife. So I asked again....You sure you don't want to be my groupie, baby(sexy Barry White tone again). She then replied, "No, I ain't carrying a DAMN thing." So I said, Definition time....honey....a "Roadie" is the one that carries stuff.....the "Groupie" in the one that sleeps with the musician after the gig. BIG LONG PAUSE. You still want me to call Jennifer? She said, "No....I think I can handle that."

Anyone have a similar story?

Excellent... excellent and hilarious story. So, looks like Jennifer is out of the picture eh? She probably is more fun to think about rather than ... well, you know the rest.

Jen and BD have been friends of ours for years. I went to school with BD in college. We get together about once every two months or so with some other friends and cook out/eat. Somehow, I don't think BD would appreciate his wife being my groupie.

LOLZ yeah i've had that kinda thing happen a lot, but with people wanting to be groupies with out actually understanding the role of a groupie, i normally leave them to think what they want, saves awkward moments.

We actually play that song, and of course when she's there, it's just for her.

Yeah well I asked a good friend of mine who is a big guy and thus strong to be my roadie. I had to fire him when he showed up in a tube top and on coke to the first gig and flashed me a number of times.

Edut: this is a lie, but I think this would be worse than having to nail a friends wife.

That's a good one........I don't think anyone would have a problem "dialing" Jen's number.

I've always heard it's easier to get forgiveness than permission, but in this case, she gave you the permission, but I don't think you would have gotten any forgiveness.

Forgiveness to her = frying pan to the head in your sleep.

Years back I had a GF, very cute and fit. She'd help load out after gigs, in miniskirt and high heels. Totally kicked the asses of the guys in the band - none of the guys shirked load-out.

Happened many years before digital photos. I know, no pics, no hot roadie/gf... so it didn't happen, but it was fun anyway.
