Dear Dr. Doom,
Hey Doc! Long time, first time and all that jazz. I'm a musician who's looking for a new group to fit into after my own kind of left on bad terms. I feel bad cause we were all friends for years before that, but I guess we let our egos get in the way. I've tried to reconcile, but no one seems to want to talk to each other so now I have to move on because I have to play and create music, I can't take a break, it just isn't in me. I play a wide variety of instruments like the electric and accoustic guitar, drums, keyboard and I can even play a lute. Trying to find a group is hard work for me, I want to play with a band that has an open capacity to try different styles. It seems alternative rock is dominating, but I don't wanna be stuck just catering to one genre. Any advice on how to widen my search?
Sincerely,
Carol Strapps
Dear Carol,
Doom does not understand, what is it that you have been doing such a long time and how does it relate to performing something for the first time? Since you're question is of the musical variety, I can only assume it has something to do with "all that jazz" you mentioned. Now, to move onto your question! It pleases Doom to be such a wealth of knowledge for your musical inquiry and it should please you Carol Strapps, that the answer to your dilemma can be brought about through the creation of the mighty musical force; Disco! Fools would have you to believe that the once dominating power of disco lies beyond Death's door but that assumption could not be more false! Recently Doom's genius intellect created a device to resurrect disco using power harnessed from a piece of Death's cloak working in conjunction with Doom's infinite library of 8-Track tapes! Doom shall unleash his creation upon the world in mere days, creating a disco fever that the world has not seen since 1976 and oh what a glorious time it will be! Doom shall harken to his days of youth in the 70s, a time when Doom filled in the ranks of uber-group The Village People. Many people aren't aware that the original line-up called for an indian, police officer, construction worker, cowboy, soldier, biker and maniacal despot. Those were fond days when a young Victor Von Doom wore his mask upon stage, but left his metallic shirt in the backstage. Sweat would glisten from Doom's exposed upper body, firm muscles swaying to the music as Doom would catch the eye of the strapping construction wor--uh...but Doom digresses!!! Yes those were certainly memorable days. In fact Doom is responsible for the Village People's most popular hit, of course the original song was different. It was written as "Its fun to stay with the D-O-O-M!!" but it was later changed to some silly youth program once Doom left the group to pursue the goal of world domination....which Doom is on the brink of completing!! Through disco!! Soon all shall tremble at the sight of the afro-visaged Doom!!
Sincerely,
Dr. Doom
