i want to talk about why i don't care for shows
this is not only why i don't care for shows, but also why i don't care to perform shows when you go to shows, you are subjected to a lot of stupidity here are a few things that have happened to me at shows ++++++ went to a show once and my girlfriend at the time ended up getting punched in the face (the fight was between two girls and one of them ducked and so my g/f who was standing close by got punched) ++++++ i went to one show once and the security guys were patting us all down.. well as i was in line i saw the security guys find joints on some people but they didn't care, they just gave them back to them when it was my turn, i had a bag of unopened gummi bears in my pocket.. the security guard threw them away ++++++ at one show a guy came up to me and kept trying to ask me for drugs without actually asking me.. so he kept saying things like "i think you got what i need" and it took me a minute to catch on btw.. i have this issue every once in a while to where people think i'm high even though i'm not.. its been happening since high school ++++++ at one show i was talking to some guy about music based on the artist who was on his shirt.. he talked to me for like 5 seconds and then he asked me if i would buy him a beer since he was underage.. smh ++++++ i went to a show once and this smell was making me sick the whole time.. i couldn't figure out what it was toward the end of the show, my stomach was beginning to feel sick from this smell.. then the girl behind me at some point finally tapped me and said "hey my feet stink don't they?" and there she was airing her feet out.. she didn't have on any shoes or socks, and based on how the seating was, her feet were right next to my head.. i didn't know the whole time because i had never looked behind me she left soon after this and the smell left with her.. i was officially disgusted ++++++ i went to a show (and this was the last one i went to, because this was the last straw) some guy stood in the front row flicking off the main act for like 15 minutes straight a fight broke out between some girls and it interrupted the show the floor was sticky from spilled alcohol people were smoking weed and cigarettes like maniacs.. well this show was not outdoors, it was inside, so you can imagine the bacteria and free radicals inside that place.. people smoke and blow it any and everywhere including directly into your ears.. so here's what happened: bacteria from all that smoke (being everywhere and being blown into my ears) got lodged into my ear canal which is connected to my sinuses.. long story short my entire face swelled up to the point where I COULDNT EVEN OPEN MY MOUTH TO EAT.. i had to go to the local clinic and get antibiotics which made me urinate every 15 minutes until my face healed and all the puss and pain went away ++++++ again.. this is not only why i don't care for shows, but also why i don't care to perform them either i don't care for the crowds.. the people don't exhibit any type of class this is why i am happy being mainly a web-presence as opposed to being someone who tours and performs and does shows i honestly just plain have no desire to perform because i don't like the environments.. they tend to be kinda sleazy.. so many people in the music industry talk about how 'its not what its cracked up to be' or 'people are shady' or whatever.. and i understand what they mean.. i mean imagine dealing with all these people and their foolishness plus a promoter who doesn't want to pay you on top of that another reason i don't like performing is i've found that its not really about the music, its about the artist.. which i find to be backwards anyway.. just wanted to share some of my thoughts on the show/performance side of music i have performed a few times but i just really have no desire to do it.. music (to me) is not a commercial, its an extension of life, so i intend to treat it as such i'm not trying to bo-jangles my way to the top u know what i'm sayin? not knocking people who do all that, but its just not me so yeah.. for better or for worse, shows and performing are really just not my thing, besides.. i think music videos are a better representation of a song or idea anyway
