Woo hoo! O.k., so last night I’m at O’Briens in carrolwood (Tampa), I have my two best friends with me, and we’re kicking back pitchers of Bass Ale.
The local band there sucked.
…a lot.
So towards the end of the night, me and my punker friends are all like yelling “Play FREEBIRD!” and just being rowdy. Not in a bad way, the band was coming back at us with some good quips, and it was just understood we were kidding (Mohawks + Freebird = fourth horseman of the apocalypse). So towards the end of their really bad set they asked for a request, and my friend Dingo yells out “Ramones!”
They started “I wanna be sedated”
They couldn’t remember the words. The crowd is half asleep at this point.
So we were teasing them, and they ask me “Well, d’you think you can do better?” (thinking i’m not gonna go up there and sing), So i’m like “YEAH!”
I get onstage, we do the song, and I get the whole crowd singing it at the end (the na-na-nana part). I walk offstage to a standing ovation, and they stopped their set after the song.
Ooooh, I am good!
