Subject: RE: [kl] Bad joke time
I dunno, maybe I am just too simplistic, but I got a genuine chuckle =
reding
some of those jokes on the Musicians Union webpage, be they hackneyed =
and
rehashed or not. It is just that sometimes a good laugh, even at your =
own
expense, is worth it. Humility is a wonderful equalizer, and you'll note
that no aspersions were meant to be cast at anyone, I even tried to =
qualify
as much in the first bad joke I sent.=20
Thing is, we tend to take ourselves too seriously, and are a little too
uptight, especially here and in this space of all spaces, and even My =
Space
can be a little too Nazi-istic at times despite its fa=E7ade of freedom. =
We are supposed to be musicians, and the impetus of our craft is an
intrinsic LOVE of playing and listening to music. And without that LOVE, =
we
are nothing. But it is also meant to be JOYFUL and FUN. Where has the =
Joy
and Fun gone? Especially when you can't sit back and relax and enjoy a =
few
hackneyed old one-liners from long ago which some idiot on a Musicians =
Union
webpage has preserved? =20
Are we so busy being sycophantic to those whom we perceive as the =
powerful
that we are willing to step over and forget those in trenches and =
gutters
who might need or ask for our help along the way? Have we become
desensitized to everyone else's need except our own?
I guess this is something to think about on this, the quite most holiest =
day
in Christendom.=20

No problem here.... :-)
That would be far more amusing than rereading the same recycled, =
rehashed
and unwitty one-liners that every adolescent has already put on their My
Space page.
