My Drummer

2/3rds Of my band is straight edge people who never touched a drug or have any criminal charges. The drummer is #3. He always came into practice with some crazy ass story about what he did during the week. he once told me about how him and his brother broke into an abandon synagogue, with a bunch of swatztigas ( please excuse my typos) spray painted over the walls. Another time he Set fire to a bunch of traffic cones in the middle of a busy road in st louis. We have one more practice before the bands break up. I'll keep you posted about what he does this week.
 
Wow. I would have bailed on that guy at the first story. Actually, I would have made it an, "Either he goes, or I go" kind of thing right then and there.

I can't be in a band with guys I don't like, let alone someone I hate. That guy sounds utterly despicable - and it's got nothing to do with what instrument he plays. Like it or not, the company you keep says a lot about you.

I don't do tolerance to that degree.

I live near St. Louis. Didn't the Swastika thing make the news?
