We knew this really talented musician that transferred from keyboard to bass.
And he started playing with these local guys named “big break”.
The front man was a douche, involved in local drug dealing, and the joke was that the band was waiting on their big break.
A few years later…
The handsome, arrogant frontman was in a motorcycle crash while high on drugs.
Broke his neck, wheelchair bound for life.
He kept the band name ..
Big break.
And he was making jokes about it on the microphone…
We went to see them at a paraplegic Woodstock, And the crowd was, and the crowd was…
Probably 65% handicapped.
So it was like.. the wrong gig to eat mushrooms at.
But I did anyway.
To see my buddy Allen.
The guy got his big break 👍
Ironic, brutal.
Brutal AF.
Really uncomfortable gig.. to be on mushrooms at.
Life doesn’t care about you. Doesn’t care what cards you got, doesn’t matter how well you dance.
Funny followup..
The wheelchair guy focused on his drug dealings and became a local kingpin.
