an "Ode To A Roadie".....

[rattattack1313]

here is an old ditty that has been around the stages fer ages.......(lol)........
If it's dry, smoke it........if it's wet, drink it.......if it's white, sniff it.......if it smiles, fark it.......if it moves, gaff it........ and if it don't work, put it back in the truck............ (Gaff is the tape we use on stage to stick anything to anything...)......

[Torana]

I don't get it.....

[rattattack1313]

ok... an "Ode" is a poem........and I was a full on roadie for ,like, 26 years....
surely i don't have to go through it line by line......

[jetspin_vn]

No no, spare those of us who DO get it

[rattattack1313]

well I'm glad at least a few got it....

Great one!!! Yes, I got it...I used to be in a high school band back in the late seventies and 1980 which travelled around here and there (played a mean sax and passable Fender Strat...all hail the mighty Stratocaster... )

Yes, I recall our "roadies" such as they were (usually us before the show started at whatever school we were playing at ) and the rather amazing amount of gaffer tape we used to go through...
