lost a room over stupid stuff (rant)

We lost a decent room because the owner was running around with a db meter and kept telling us we needed to turn down the Jukebox in the place was 3x louder than we were to a point of distortion! Which our ex drummer pointed out to him. The owner who had a drinking problem became loud and wanted to fight. After the gig he actually came out into the parking lot like he was going to fight the 5 of us sad. We did him a favor and surrounded him and he asked us not to beat him up which was not our intention just to talk him and said we aren't coming back unless you wakeup to the fact that 65 Db is not a possible goal to reach with 5 member rock band. They changed names some years later and we tried to book it thinking it was a new owner and spoke to the booking agent who when we mention the name and I am talking 5 years later he said I would love to get you guys in here I have seen you in many places and you guys kill, but you have been banned for life because the owner said you threaten to kill him in the parking lot one night. ha ha ha same owner.
