(SORT OF a joke...) But according to the Luboffs

Be there or be human... And HB, don't hear me wrong. I LOVE their "101 Songwriting Wrongs..." book and am in the process of reading it for the 3rd or 4th time right now. But I had JUST finished the chapter about paying attention to those around you, so I thought I'd give it a try (even more so than I already do...people watching has been a favorite hobby of mine for years). But the bunch that was yelling and screaming at the table next to me might've had a collective I.Q. of 30-35. (That's purely a guess on my part ) And they kept adding more to the group and getting louder and louder AND moving closer and closer to my "personal space" boundaries...Hence, it was MUCH smarter --not to mention SAFER-- to voice my horror and revulsion HERE, among heads I can relate to, than to suddenly turn on them and explode.I love observation. But more and more, from a wider distance...Ted

Ted, There is no bigger, brighter side.Most people are idiots.Accept this now and you will get through your days with less pain. I was going to take the Luboff classes this year at the rally, but now that I know it means prescribed listening to those around me, I think I'll take a miss and listen to the little voices inside my head instead!- I'm practicing sounding more like a cynic. Is it working?

Is it working? HA! How about we double-team the Luboff's classes (like we did all the others last year)? It'll be worth it, I promise. Besides, if you recall, at the Rally, most of those around us will be like-minded and tolerable, at the very least.
