Subby, did you ever sell out Shea Stadium and do it faster than the Beatles? Grand Funk did. Now be a good little tween and go whine somewhere else.

This reminds me of a Simpson's episode for some reason.

how exactly musicians ever past their prime? Sure public opinion of them may change, but that means diddly.

I guess I'm just three minutes more awesome today.

/Whatever that means.

Screw you, jamming with Duff McKagan and Bruce Kulick would kick all kinds of ass.

I met Artimus Pyle of Lynyrd Skynyrd at Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp back in February '07. Probably the best 5 days-in-a-row of my life. He's a great guy, and has a weird solo album out that's good, kind of.

I wonder why there's no Mr.Rogers Fantasy Camp since this is only slightly beyond that in never growing out of adolescence.

Know what's a thousand times more fun, and a million times less gay than "Fantasy Camp"? Starting a band and going on tour. All it requires is a myspace account and a minivan.

Looks like someone is a fan of wild, shirtless lyrics, bong-rattling bass and competent drumwork.

That's a fairly comprehensive list of all the people who used to be famous rock'n'rollers but now can't land a gig mopping floors*. I bet they just went down to the social security offices with a net.

It's not subby's fault, we were all 16 once, with our decades of professional musical experience to make statements like that.
