BAND AID
At a recent band practice, an argument ensued when I became visibly irritated over my guitarist singing harmony parts where he never did before. I let go of the fact that he is not that good of a background vocalist and as much of a friend as he has been to me, I feel like being in the band on and off is similiar to going back to your ex-wife over and over again.
I liked being in a band and still like being in a band, however, I feel like I'm settling for the ex-wife, thinking that she has or will change her ways in order to preserve the union. Instead, I'm stuck with the same idiot who believes in conspiracy theories and how great the band, Korn is. Did I leave out the fact that this guy has never heard one fucking album by the Beatles or the Stones or when Lou Reed died last year, he did not know who he was.
I may come off snobby or overly critical, yet is it so much to ask or wish that this guy would be aware of music to some capacity? When he got angry, he stated how he hates how "negative" I am. Yet, I show up every fucking Saturday night just to be able to sing with a band, who come to think of it collectively have no business to think that our band is going anywhere with the exception of few lame bar gigs somewhere.
I feel like I've been miscast in a movie. A talented singer and lyricist, with a deep and profound love of music that is fanatic at times, stuck with three others whose music listening equivalent is that of a 45 year old housewife scrubbing dishes while listening to FUCKING KORN!!!
So, I had a week off and I feel like either another argument will ensue or I will just quit.
