A lady like 20-30 years our senior trying one by one to take all 3 of us home

So which of you did she take home?

What always gets me about stories like this if an older woman goes after a young guy, it is just cute.
If an older man goes after a young girl, he is a pervert and should be on the sex offenders list.
Eveybody move along, no double standard to see here.

Eary 70s gig. Guy comes up while we are on break and tells us we are a fantastic band, but we need to get to his place so it will sound even better. Then he passes out non-liquid refreshments.

Has anyone ever taken up any of these offers?
No judgement will be passed, I promise.

We all turned her down. I've got an amazing girlfriend that is drop dead gorgeous and my age. The other guys just weren't into her.

I think the double standard is derived from a notion that a grown woman going after a younger man is perceived as less of a dangerous physical threat than vice versa. Whether this is correct or an antiquated hold over from a time of commodifying woman as a damageable good I'll leave up to you guys. Me? I leave it as a matter of choice. If your an adult and consent, that's your burden to bear. If you are impaired of your own volition but still aware, conscious, and consenting then that is also your burden to bear for both genders. I could be wrong. I've been wrong enough times in my short life to no longer be unwilling to be set straight.

You took my post more seriously than I intended.

All drug, alcohol and sex content aside, the weirdest thing I ever got at a gig was an 8 inch cast iron skillet. Yeah, that's right. A skillet.

Years ago I had someone offer to buy a bass I was playing, $100 Mitchell ABG, for $300 on the spot. I really wish I would've taken it.

Was it a Griswold? LOL

Two women offered an S&M session post-gig. Good-looking girls but after I heard some details regarding exactly what they had in mind, I politely declined as we were not on the same page with respects to what constitutes fun.

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though wears those tops, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

 

[buzzbass]

I'm going to guess that song was "Longview".

Actually it was "Welcome to Paradise". LOL

I think you win. I'm trying to wrap my head around how that happened. You were given a skillet, at a gig! How does that come about. lol

I love Sinatra but this went over my head - care to enlighten me? I'm looking up song meanings after I post this

Just a couple of weeks ago we were playing at a wedding at a Farmhouse on Long Island (Not many farmhouses left in suburbia BTW) We got a Dozen farm fresh eggs from the chickens out back as a tip. Still not sure what the message was - they seemed real proud of those chickens.

The verse is about being eaten by "sharks" (really based on a operatic murderer, but in this context S&M, um, practitioners).

I've heard that the, um, most skilled of them can make the "scarlet" billow with appropriate diligence. And if scarlet liquids are involved, billowing all over the place, one should certainly wear gloves to avoid a trace of red. Safety first!

A broken down old Jeep CJ7 that I have had to come back for and tow out there...but It only needed couple of hundred dollars into to to make it "alive again".
The strange part was the bag of women lingerie and 'toys' found under the passenger set.

Wow, a Jeep.
We were given lobsters at an outdoor BBQ.
Not weird but different & really appreciated.
