Once a Rock Star...Now a Geezer

By Robert
I got an email from my college roomate with a pic of him rocking out with a Gibson Firebird and I'm trying to decide how I feel about it.
Bert rocks
On the one hand its really great that music has been a lifetime hobby for both of us. Bert still plays and I've been in bands throughout my life.

One the other hand, we're not exactly rock stars anymore. Now I play in a church band. We have no roadies, no groupies, no girls buying us drinks between sets.

Jam'n
Now it is possible that my memories of our musical fame have become exaggerated over the years. In reality our roadies were semi-crazed jocks, our version of groupies were downright scary (one involved us in a car chase where Bert and I both feared for our lives), and the girl that bought me drinks between sets ended up marrying me.

After some thought I know how I feel. Music has been a great part of my life. It's given me my best friends, my spouse, and a lifelong creative outlet. The pic is terrific.
