So I turned then onto a video of Joe Cocker - You are so beautiful and A little help from my friends. They had to admit that they know the songs and even most of the words but never heard do that old crazy guy that made those faces and obviously had a Hugh pharmaceutical problem with a whiskey chaser. At least the old guy had there attention for a few minutes and that just maybe I had some interesting thing to bring to a conversation.

I would show them something like Santana at Woodstock playing Soul Sacrifice. Michael Shrieve, at twenty years old playing a killer drum solo. Greg Rolie (Journey) on keys and Mike Carabello on congos.
