I enjoy a good bit of music, in fact, I LOVE music, especially live music and in my Judas Priest mood, I've decided to listen to one of their live albums and it just plagues me, why is it bands always stand on stage and ask, "Are you ready?" Really Rob Halford? I know you're a legend, I know you can sing like a beast and you have an amazing pair of lungs, but come on, are you and others like you really that dense? I dunno, your fans have probably paid what? £30 for their ticket, probably caught a train to the venue, sat in McDonalds chewing on a burger talking excitedly to their friends, then proceeded to stand for two hours waiting for the doors open, when they'll probably wait another thirty minutes to wait for your roadies set up, or even suffer your support bands for a couple of hours before you're even ready to enter the building, they've probably even taken the day off work to come see you. Yet, you ask them, "Are you ready?" Of course they're bloody ready! They've probably waited all their life for this momentous occasion, they've probably been ready since they first put on one of your records. You know what, next time I see a band and they have the audacity to ask, "Are you ready?" I shall approach the stage, whisper into their ear, "would you give me 20 minutes? I've got to call my mother."
Alternatively, attempt to sing back the Spongebob Squarepants theme:
"Are you ready Kids?"
"Aye, aye captain!"
"I can't heeeeeeear you!"
"AYE AYE CAPTAIN!"
"OOoooohh Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"
I think Peter Griffin would say, "Well, that grinds my gears", well not really, but this is what they call 'procrastination'. Yes folks, it's normal to be distracted when you should be writing, editing or doing something you should be doing.
Judas Priest and Spongebob would not be good. Don't do it Bryn, don't do it :(
