You know the bully? Sometimes it’s a thug, pushing you in the schoolyard, and sometimes a pinch faced balding pseudo-intellectual trying to make you look stupid in class. Or at work. They come in all shapes and sizes. They are self hating monsters that think they have to keep others in their place. I allowed one of those monsters to get under my skin once. Screwed me up for years. But I finally got my anger out by writing a song about it. And it really felt good.

Awakening from very little sleep due to the night’s downpour and a fellow campmate’s snoring through a Marshall amp cranked up to 11 it was a late start to the day. Breakfast was accompanied by rain and the distant ‘Nightwish-ish’ sound of Leaves Eyes followed by Evile who woke up the rest of the campers.

Well, look: a bar is always going to be a lousy place to see a band play live. Best-case scenario, the acoustics are merely fair, the mix is only adequate, at least a good third of the crowd are shouting their private conversations over the music, and the drinks are always (always) over-priced. Add in a row of pool tables at the back and even your loudest acts are going to be fighting a mean battle with an unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio.

Performers are insane. It takes a madman to want to stand up in front of people and somehow find a sense of self-worth from doing that. The performer is as insane as the audience drives them. They are as insane as the media wants to make them. We, the audience, are lemmings, making super lemmings out of performers.
