The Professor. My 8 year old son just had his first drum lesson. I think the kid is going to be great.
He has already made up some of his own rhythms his teacher hadn't shown him.

I'm sitting there next to him as he plays and all of a sudden he stops and looks at me and says........
From now on Dad just call me Sticks!
Proud Papa!

Let's see. 2 or 3 fingers plucking 4 strings is a rhythm section? How about a pair of sticks and a pair of feet

How about a maple bass neck upside your head, hoser!

Or worse, you get things like:

I get up at seven...


I was young. I was stoned. Now that I'm old and stoned, my rhymes make more sense like "realistic" and "nihilistic". Yeah, buddy. I've learned how to use pretentious big words in songs. Learned from the master.

And the band went nowhere until it got a new lyricist? Yeah, before the new lyricist, we used to do songs about rock and roll, chicks, and getting drunk. Now that we've got a self-described "lyricist", we do stuff about trees and the horrible plight of humanity and I'm forced to sing whiney songs about how much it sucks to be famous. In 11/pi time.
