When Hatchet was still a club band, they played the club I worked at, twice I believe. They def liked loud. And Wild Turkey. Considering the club was in a basement, it was damn loud.
I was bouncing in the club, among keg fetching duties, and was upstairs in the cooler manhandling a keg down the stairs probably or checking on OD's in the bathroom when a fight broke out in the parking lot between Tiny, the roadie, and a few other citizens. By the time I got upstairs to the parking lot, there were people either lying on the ground or dragging themselves to their cars. Tiny was headed back in and I asked him what happened? He said something like , oh, just a bunch of assholes. Nothing to worry about, I took care of it. lol. "Tiny" was in fact a pretty good sized dude.

Speaking of dudes, dude, you should definitely consider an autobiography. That doesn't mean it writes itself. It means it is about you. I would def buy it on google books or the such.

Eh. Most of my life was strife with some good times in between. Or at least how I view it.

The best thing I ever did in my 30's was to move up here to N FL. It was to make a total lifestyle change. Too many friends into drugs, and while many had better living conditions than I did I felt a change was needed to keep my sanity, if not my life intact. Survival instinct kicked in and my mental health was paramount to that survival.

While I don't agree with the politics, the people here are mostly nice decent people, and at least you don't hear about all the BS as in more populated areas. Before age 30 I def did a lot. Like an old friend, now deceased once told me, I got paid today, bought some liquor and went to the bar , then wasted the rest on groceries. lol. Just a way of saying, there's a whole world of experiences out there, and I wanted to have them all.

I'm glad I ran wild while I was able to do so. Once you get serious about having a career or having a rock and roll life-style, you kind of have to make a choice. Now, if I could physically live that way, I'd have no inclination to do so.
