The Music Scene

So you
wanna know
about the scene, kid?


Functional alcoholics
Drug addicts
of some shape or form
most of 'em

there's the
starry-eyed pretenders
moronically
hoping and praying

that someday
some mogul will
walk through the door.

fat chance of that.

gigging for
a few hundred bucks a
night maybe not already
spent

there's the day job
unwinder type

never quite made it
he realizes it

that's the worst part
beware the male ego

there's the female
singer/songwriter
all about finger-picking

what she perceives
to be deep and pithy

but really just tortured

actually, you
oughta feel sorry for 'em, kid.

each and every
last one.
