[quote name='redstriper' post='906280' date='Jul 26 2010, 08:09 PM']Don't deny your ego:
I got my first bass when my girlfriend dumped me, thinking "I'll be a pop star and that'll show her".
That was 35 years ago and I still demand groupies, drugs, money, fame, adoration and free food - why else would I do this ?[/quote]
I'd be happy with half that (the groupies, drugs and money half mind ).
