Racial Microagressions

[pacojas]

I haven't gotten a weird email from rik, but I think that's because I'm from the inner city and I live close to him and I'm part latino, so he may be wary of my reaction

 

[DerHoggz]

Surprisingly, I haven't gotten one. But I have been placed behind his "Shield of Ignorance."

 

[bolophonic]

Sounds about right, but that last one was extra weird.

I suspect someone is about to go supernova.

 

[Ziltoid]

He picks on me because I'm white.

And Canadian, which makes you uber white

It's white on white crime I tells ya!

I used to love posting about some facet of playing basement shows in a no-budget, grimy hardcore band and receiving a detailed analysis of the originals vs. covers market in Milwaukee in return.

Yes, but did you learn what red flags to look for when viewing classic rock cover band Craigslist ads?

After all it is The Great White North.

But I just played Suzanne. I always felt that song was actually an ode to Montreal.

So does that balance out.

Speaking of racial microaggressions, have a look at this brilliant thread:

Surely that was made into a sticky?

I'll give you a pass, but between you and me, those Canadians hold grudges, so zilt may never forgive you

And this is why things suck without bluewine around. Dude was an expert on all things Milwaukee.

+1

I was gonna create a thread asking if rik is the new bluewine. But I thought the mention of bw was an offense to TB policy :sly:

Do they pay cash? Before the show?
No.

Goodbye.

I'm willing to bet that most us here don't put meals on the table with our skills as bassists. I would be much skinnier.

It's my guess that blue did. People were ranking on Orinthioa or whatever the girl guitarist from Oz is called.

Just like Blue she's walking the walk. And that takes a certain amount of TF.

I got a STEM degree because I read a WSJ article that had them way down as far as unemployment goes. And while my SATs would have flown I was working since I was 14 and my grades wouldn't have gotten me into an Engineering program.

I have to respect not only the dedication but the sacrifice people like Blue and Orinatia make.

And really every one making a living in the field. Jack Bruce is still working. Because he has to.

I was fortunate enough to see Jim McCarty fronting his own band at a "BackStage" show in a town called Lakewood. BackStage because rather than open the entire theater they use the stage and the audience sits backstage.

This guy has managed to get through life without the dreaded "real job" And he said it wasn't always easy. And this was a mega star in one of the most influential bands in rock history.

I caught Danny Kalb at a church basement back in the seventies.

It was a heck of a snowy night and his band didn't show. Either did the audience. It was him me and a couple of others. Half of which came with me. Financially he a reason to sing the blues.

Two pieces of advice I give to budding musicians. Sing in a choir. and take business courses at your local community college.

And if you can see yourself doing anything else for a living do it.

I have no doubt there was a reason Bluewine was blue.

 

[DerHoggz]

Yeah, bluewine wasn't a working musician as far as I can remember.

Sorry aboot that. Sorry.

 

[petrus61]

I have multiple PM's where he unrequitedly says otherwise

 

[DerHoggz]

Ok, I thought I remembered him coming in with a story about picking it up again very recently.

 

[Ziltoid]

Hypapanuse was more fun than bluewine.

 

[BawanaRik]

Das the way I remembers it.

I'm going to be sixty in a couple of months.

The thought of schlepping an SVT into and out of and into and out of for 50 bucks isn't doing it for me.

 

[fmoore200]

Sorry aboot that. Sorry.

It's ok bro. (in Christopher Walkins delivery) Nature vs nurture. Nature always wins

Hypapanuse was more fun than bluewine.

I don't remember hypapanuse. What's his claim to TB fame?
