The Insidious Prophets

Some people are intimidated when talking to large numbers of people in an entertaining way. Not me.

You know what's weird? I suffer (I hate the word "suffer" here, it sounds overly dramatic) from social phobia and can hardly function in a new environment with new people, but for some strange reason, I feel pretty good and relaxed on stage. I really can't explain it. Sorry, OT I guess, just wasn't sure if anybody else could relate or not.

Well I dont have the new environment social problem but like you Para I never have a problem stepping on to a stage. I never attempt to be the star of the show though or try to be funny, I think it's partly your basic constitution and also, coming from a family of singers and musicians, being well prepared and rehearsed. It's great to be the calming influence in a band, I like it that they can rely on me to hit all my cues and pull all my chops out as required. Best tip I ever got was to laugh (or at least smile) at yours and others mistakes, not to grimace and look angry, it rubs off on everyone, most of all the audience, who never seem to notice occasional mistakes but do get off on a good, relaxed vibe from the performers

People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know I'm rock and roll through and through. But you know that old thing, live fast, die young? Not my way. Live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? Die old. That's the way- not orthodox, I don't live by "the rules" you know. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics."

And he'll always try to hit the ball at least, even if the 'reverse sweep' makes him look a bit ungainly. He's a great guy.....you ask him.

I dunno about the name of my first band but the next one is gonna be called:

'The Iron Bottoms'

In honour of the great man....thanks for the reminder.
