Ever notice the way the world tends to give with one hand and take away with the other?
Life has a habit of balancing, or just juggling, gifts and losses.
But in the end, everybody pays the piper, and nothing comes without consequence. 
Yes I noticed that, it's the one step forward, two steps back dance we working class seem to do, forever.
I just let the universe do what it will and don't sweat it. My goal now is to lift up my children's future economic outlook, after all, I can't take it to the grave with me. And travel is shit these days, so here I am.
BTW, those rock stars are equivalent to kings, so they would not have to lift a finger to get it for free and without effort.

I've heard of top bands just starting to jam at small bars/pubs back in the day, which somehow they always missed the bars/pubs that I went to. 
Lucky you.

Even kings have been known to have to sing for their supper on the odd occasion, so...

Is that your grand illusion, to hear your king sing for his supper?

Sorry, that appears to be broken English.
"Are" who even an adult?
Again, best to do this in DM if it's an issue.
The thread is not about neds.

Yep! I used to go to Marillion gigs when they first started and got to know them.
Booked them for a gig at Uni which cost £50.00.
Student Union said no one was interested in that shit.
Well, the next year they played the main hall at a cost of £5000.00...
I used to roadie for bands at Uni.
Slade were amazing.
Was backstage at a Greg Lake gig with Gary Moore's guitar technician when he did Parisienne Walkways and held his sixties Salmon Pink Strat over his head before dropping it and kicking it.
""I wish he wouldn't do that. Now I have to fix the fucking thing".
RIP Gary.
Rory Gallagher too.

The small intimate affairs are the best.
Many years ago, just after I got out of the service, I moonlighted at night working personal security a friend that was a rather big local musician/promoter. He arraigned a ton of invitation only sessions that I was able to attend. I was able to be at sittings with such people as Billy Squire, Gary Cherone, Huey Lewis, John Geils and Bob Seger and many more. It was a fantastic time.
