Ok... so I need a little humor in my life today. Anyone wanna share some funny music stories that they have witnessed?

For instance, On my last trip to Key West, there was a semi-homeless street performing musician standing outside of the Margaritaville restaurant, playing the guitar and singing at the top of his lungs: "Jimmy Buffett doesn't Live in Key West Anymore". I gave him $10 because it was fun to watch the manager running around trying to figure out what to do with the guy. 8)

While waiting in line to board the ferry to the Statue of Liberty there was this dude playing a set of steel drums and he went crazy when he saw this guy video taping him. He refused to continue until the camera was off.

While in the home studio recording vocal tracks...
I was monitoring from inside the control room with the door closed.
When right in the middle of a vocal, the singer SCREAMED Bloody Murder into the recorder!!
Hearing this shreak of death & pain... I ran out to find our vocalist
(with no shirt on) & my cat innocently standing nearby.
Apparantly my cat (with all her claws) snuck back in the room between takes & wanted attention.
Being unnoticed, she JUMPED onto our singer's back from about 3 feet behind him.
He had no shirt on, so it was all claws & skin!!! :shock:
I honestly thought the dude got castrated right there in my living room on tape!
The best part is that somewhere in those scratch tracks
I still have this "magic moment" recorded. Priceless! :lol: :lol:

When we went to a Pepper/Slightly Stoopid/Sly & Robbie concert in Eugene on the 8th, there was a guy playing an acoustic guitar, singing about his ex-wife stabbing him in the neck with a butcher knife..( :? :shock: :lol: )
And some kids were grabbing the headstock, and screwin around, and he gets all mad "D@mmit kids, I'm tryin to make a livin here!" :lol:

When I managed a music store, a man comes thru the front door. He has to wade thru pianos and drum sets and there are guitars all over the walls. He walks up to the glass counter full of harmonicas, guitar accessories and the obligatory kazoos and ask:

"Is this the bank?"

My line:

"That would depend, sir. Is this a deposit or withdrawal?"

No kidding. :lol:

Stop and think about it...... the bulk of humor is either moronic people DOING stupid things (ala AFV) or idiots asking really dumb (Here's Your Sign) questions. The rest is usually misprints or just goofs who "caint spel cauz dey haszent gotz a ed-u-ma-kay-shun" or dey jus dozent gives a pupe. (Headlines on Jay Leno, any of the four on the Blue Comedy Tour, etc.)
Note: Notice I didn't include 'Gas' jokes since methane crosses all borders: rich & poor, smart & ignorant; from cows to rotten eggs & beyond..... LOL

However, I must admit, Victor Borge was a hoot when he played the wrong note(s) at the precisely the right time..... genius & super funny!

Generally, humor feasts on screw-ups...... Being or playing the fool, catching a dork at his/her most spaced and brain-fogged, plus pointing out spectacles of great embarrassment.... people who had no clue their genes included personal moments of retardation.......
