from your line of work, and some of the excerps you tell us now and then, I bet you have tons of cool and interesting stories.

Why don't you tell us some cool stuff that has happened to you, like some cool people you've met, about cock rock assholes that you wish you hadn't, after parties with the bands, getting laid by rock and roll sluts, shooting up in the boys room, etc.......

dude, the time i went down to his work, apparently the afterparty was friggin wild. there were crazy hoes all around, most of them from sororities at the univ i attend.

Well, for the past 11 years I've been the house sound slave dude at a small bar venue. We get a wide range of different kinds of acts, from crap local cover bands, up and coming bands, MTV bands on "Our First Bus Tour," to national acts and has-beens. It's kind of funny if a modern rock radio station is on at work, or if they have the XM Satellite Radio set to a modern rock station at the gym, and I can only go about fifteen minutes between episodes of saying "oh, they played here."

I don't really see a lot of the fun stuff that goes on, don't have much in the way of wild stories, mostly all I can really tell is that "[instert artist name] is an asshole" or "[insert artist name] is a really nice guy."

The real fun was when I used to tour with a small band in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I'm not gonna mention their name, 'cause you never heard of 'em anyway, but they had one CD on Virgin Records in 1990. We mostly toured colleges, and theaters/bars on college strips, and there were lots of dressing room and motel room scenes, mostly involving lots of blow jobs from underage females.

I'm trying to think of just one good story from work, so I won't dissappoint, but I'm coming up blank this morning. Well, one time my manager and I caught Doug Pinnock of Kings X smoking crack on the sidewalk in front of the bar.

MR DB, you are much too modest about your job and your past. I am sure you've had enough experiences for a lifetime of debauchery, tell us about it. What kind of music did your band play, where you guys like post punk, pre grunge, Soup Dragons type of music?

There's not much to tell, all those nights just run together in my memory now. The one truly memorable moment was the one and only time I've ever been deep-throated. I don't mean to brag, but that's not usually possible. But this sorority girl somewhere in eastern Tennessee (I don't remember if it was Chattanooga, Knoxville, Murfreesboro, or where...) took the whole thing, nose to pubes, like a pro. I lasted about a minute. The singer/songwriter/guitarist dude was a squirrely little guy with the narrowest shoulders I've ever seen, but I think he had a girlfriend in almost every town we went to, and they all had friends... I mean, it wasn't an orgy every night, but it was certainly frequent.

The band's music was kind of generic late-1980s pop-rock, I guess the principle songwriter's biggest influence was Elvis Costello. Total worldwide CD sales were somewhere around a whopping 45,000 units. Of those, I think about 39,000 are presently gathering dust in the "damn, we'll never manage to get rid of these" sections of used record stores. For a time in 1991, I could find at least one "For Promotional Use Only, Not For Resale" copy of it in the cutout bin of any used record store I walked into, anywhere in the country; radio stations and newspaper reviewers must've been dumping them after one listen. We got polite reviews in Spin and Rolling Stone. The record really wasn't very good, thanks to the semi-big-name producer who tried to make it too mainstream instead of letting the band maintain some "alternative" street cred.

did you play the guitar? Any small bar fights?

I was the sound tech, and sometimes I tour managed, I wasn't IN the band.

I play guitar, but only for my own amusement. I'm like the stereotypical baby boomer bedroom guitarist -- vintage gear, great tone, no chops.

No fights that I can recall.
