The "So What, I'm a Bass Player" Game

"Sir, The buffet line and open bar are for guests only."
"So what, I'm a bass player"

"Everyone helps with load-out!"
"So what, I'm a bass player"

says cute looking woman: "I don't like to date engineers"
"So what, I'm a bass player"

"What's your favorite Miles Davis tune?"
"'So What' - I'm a bass player"

OK, dude, I'm playing a Bm7 chord here.
"So what... I'm a bass player".

Dude, we agreed that we'd all be 10 minutes early to tune up!
"So what... I'm a bass player".

Dude, the owner said the guitars are too loud!
"So what... I'm a bass player".

Our manager says he wants us to work out some choreography for that part of the song.
"So what... I'm a bass player".

I dont understand most of that post.

So what, Im a bass player.
 
The OP reminded me too much of this:

maybe I'm not "the norm".
I'm not "camera friendly",
I don't "wear clothes that fit me",
I'm not a "heartbreaker",
I haven't had "sex with a woman",
I don't know "how that works",
I don't "fall in line",
I'm not "hygienic",
I don't "wipe properly",
I lack "style",
I don't have "self-esteem",
I have no "charisma",
I don't "own a toothbrush",
I don't "let my scabs heal",
I can't "reach all the parts of my body",
when I sleep I sweat profusely.

But I guess the powers that be will keep signing my pay check until Jack and Jane K. Rocker start to go for the door so they can get back to musicians who don't "frighten children",
who don't "eat their own dandruff",
who don't "pop their whiteheads with a compass they used in high school".

So What?? I'm a bass player.

That's what I was thinking too when I first saw this thread!

RIP Farley!
