Rule #7/8: Musicians Can Have Anything.
A bored 20 minutes ago, I was going through a bunch of the world's worst pick-up lines just to have a laugh and find something terrible and interesting to share, when I stumbled across a blog that shares 33 pick-up lines for Musicians.
I got through reading three when I realised that musicians don't need pick-up lines. They need just two things: 1. The ability to speak, and 2. The G chord
Here's how the situation works:
Musician: Hi I'm a musician
Unsuspecting Male/Female Recipient: Really?! Cool. Can you play something?
Musician: Sure. *Plays G chord, slowly, and then again, and then maybe strums for another 2 seconds*
Unsuspecting Male/Female Recipient: OHMYGOD YOU'RE SO GOOD LET'S JAM I CAN SING OR I'LL LEARN JUST TO HANG OUT WITH YOU OHMYGOD
Some musicians don't even need that. They just need to carry their guitar/ guitar case (yes, even an empty case works) or a pair of drumsticks.
Here's how situation #2 works:
Suspecting Mediocre Male/Female/Person: Oh, so you're a musician?
Musician: Yeah.
Suspecting Mediocre Male/Female/Person: OHMYGOD YOU MUST BE SO GOOD LET'S JAM I CAN SING OR I'LL LEARN JUST TO HANG OUT WITH YOU OHMYGOD
Now, you're probably wondering what happens if the musician is a singer/ songwriter/ composer/ producer/ mic boy. Well, that's simple.
Here's how situation Don't-Got-No-Instruments works:
Musician: Hi I'm a musician.
Insignificant Other: What? Where's your equipment?
Musician: Oh I'm a singer/composer/producer/assistant music producer (mic boys usually use [see how I did that] the last one)
Insignificant Other: OHMYGOD YOU'RE SO DEEP AND MEANINGFUL AND MUST BE SO GOOD I CAN SING I LIKE MUSIC I JUST WANT TO okay you get the point.
So if you were wondering why the life of a Rockstar is all "Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll", it's because no one's ever said no to a musician (except his mother, of course, and maybe a few loan officers).
Hence proved.
(Not really, but you get what I mean.)
Finally, to conclude all this, I'd just like to say MUSICIANS ARE AWESOME.
Ok. Goodbye.
