Help! I'm not cool enough to be in a band. (Page 2 of 2)

Fair enough! I can actually play American Idiot on banjo.

don't ever stand aside, don't ever be denied
you gotta be who you be if you're comin' with me

okay??

I bought my first guitar when I was 15 and used to sit at my bedroom window with the guitar hoping I'd be seen and thought of as cool, it didnt work, I had to get out and meet people, That guitar sat in my bedroom for 10 years before I finally decided to learn how to play it, I am now playing for 30 years and still learning, friends have come and gone, some have stayed, but that guitar and the other 3 I know have are my best friends, they pick me up when I am down, they never reject me, they are always there to let me try new things, I can bring them to a pub/bar, they dont get drunk and messy, they are cheap to run, I think I got carried away, What i think I meant to say is you can lose yourself in music and this in turn will give you confidence

Hey,Im weird to. when I first moved to my new school I was the only rocker there.Thay were preps.ahh.They thought I was a goth.Thay dont even know what goth is.Im not goth Im punk.
They found out that I played guitar but they did not care.I have tried to be popular before but to tell you the truth use weirdies have more fun.Right now I have friends who are like me it was hard to find them but I did.And now Im starting a band.Dont try to be something your not.

Amen!!

Hi Des
The boy quit chordie in a huff a while ago.
Who knows he maybe back on under another id.....I don't think so  though. He was shall we say a little "different"

The saying
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it  was popularized by politician Bert Lance in December 1976, referring to the machine of the federal government in America.

cool to who?
don't try to impress others.
I've seen ugly band members.
I've known people that were real jerks.
step back and evaluate the whole situation.
I've known famous people that were totally miserable, and I've known people that were playing on a street corner and were just as happy as could be.

I think it's a kind of poem.
As upyerkilt sais, whatever we tried to do, like helping him: it was NEVER good. I think we all did great to support that young man.
I will never forget the question where he asked if musicality was a result or better was in the family, and I explained him that it could be in the human genes, the answer he wrote, was incredible, writing extremely aggressive, that I was crazy because he was thinking about JEANS.
This was one of his first answers.
I know, that you and I will give people like him a chance. Everybody deserves that. I am so glad that we tried everything, having a lot of patience. I don't care if young people have an aggressive tone here, most cases (only a few) DO change, but..

I stood down as the unofficial king of my country. I am tihnking of going for the official title but it might take a while I will let the politicians fight it out first, once we get independance then I will strike up an army of rebellious idiots and overthrow the government and I will get some peasant to crown me at the stone of Scone.
So for now I shall remain Moderator of Chordie. When I get my title, everyone will know about it
