Reader Brian H. set me this lovely piece of satire:

“I could find someone here in town as important as a bass player.”
Ohhhhh, that stings.

Atlantic Showband’s bass player, June 1977
In my defense, I should point out that at that particular gig I managed to bed a girl that at least two others in the band had tried it on with, and been rebuffed.
That bass player doesn’t GAF what she thinks. lol
He’s hoping he didn’t catch anything off’n that skank. lol
You bedded her AT the show? Must’ve been the highlight of the intermission.
It was a three-month contract. I had lots of time.
She must have been very lonely.
