I can pick up a pizza myself, or even make it at home with a modicum of effort. I eat it maybe once a month, though.

I can't write music for shit, but I have dozens of gigs of film music on my hard drive, listen to it every day, and I would dearly miss it if people like Dane went the way of the dodo.

Yet.

You'd be famous if you got into the modeling business.....calf modeling that is.

Sure. I feel the same way about baseball. I'm just saying, producing music for reality tv may pay well, but is utterly meaningless.

There is a great pizza place down the street from me. Best pizza in town. It would suck if it went under, but life would go on

You're right.

Pizza drivers of old were badass ninjas, especially in Los Angeles with its crazy streets, hills and 18 foot wide streets. When I first moved here, I had a Thomas guide, just like everyone else and still constantly got lost. Hell, I still get lost 22 years later WITH GPS.

But I do take care of my pizza guys. I gave the Dominos guy $20 bucks on a $100 dollar order on Sunday at my 3 year old's birthday party at a nearby park because he had to carry all the pizzas 500 yards to the picnic area in 90 degree heat.

As for the music, you're right again. While I'm very happy to work, the guys that get the opportunity to create the theme song for iconic events, and CAPITALIZE on that opportunity, are awesome.

Composing music is not meaningless.

I'll allow Robin Williams to sum it up:

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.

And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?"

Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.

What will your verse be?

Hootie's verse:

You chinced out.

I'm just saying, I think anyone that has a job that allows them to support themselves, their loved ones, and afford them happiness is doing just fine. Doesn't matter if they're delivering pizzas, writing music, hitting baseballs, or cleaning toilets.

This is true.

True, but a little sweeter when you can be self employed in the process.

Well, maybe. Let's just Dane was pretty worn and tired from carrying 60 pounds if ice, tubs of drinks, etc. to set up.

I was in the bathroom washing up and a crazy homeless guy (and unfortunately, they're in every park instead of getting help) said "Hey! Why are you sweating so much! Are you high? ARE YOU HIGH? Can you share?".

It put s damper on my spirits for a few minutes.

SNR would agree with you. No one can top the Tesh.

I used to work at KCI as a skycap. Van Halen rolls through with like 100 bags. I busted my ass on them. Tipped me $10. I would have made over $50 in that time if I hadn't jumped on that opportunity. Van Halen dicked me.

Cool gig.
