    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

  1. One of my all time faves!  My younger Brother was tutored by their lead guitarist and I bounced for them at a few of their smaller shows on Long Island.

      Most metal fans are easy going unless they drink too much & start making unwanted advances toward other guys girlfriends during a show. I hope you didn't have to rough anybody up too bad buddy. It's the mean drunks as opposed to the happy go lucky dudes that you gotta be mindful of as a bouncer. 

       

      I'm sure you did a superb job as the cooler at the door RR7.

      It is true, the mean drunks were easier to deal with because they were so obliterated that they were easily handled.  The biggest issues were guys rubbing/hitting on others Ladies and those who took exception to being bumped.  Those shows were so much easier than bouncing for Grunge Metal Cover Bands that allowed a "mosh pit"...lol!

      "Pull Me Under" & "The Looking Glass" are timeless crisp classics that withstand the test of time. Great tunes that never get old. :thmup: 

       

      You know this by the number of amateur bands that cover these songs over & over again on You Tube for instance. See. That's how you know Dream Theater is iconic--Imitation is the highest form of flattery & homage man...
