Please, Don't Ask To Sing "Me and Bobby McGee" Once I convince her that, "Yes, I AM playing it in the right key," the hell begins.

Play Some Skynyrd or I'll Shoot You This perpetrator responded by saying, "I'm going out to my car and getting my gun." On his way out the door, he gave our band the stare of death, an evil flip of his mullet, extended the middle finger, and proceeded to get the gun from his car. read more
