FEW SIMPLE RULES EVERY MUSICIAN SHOULD KEEP IN HIS MIND (male musicians: we girls have style!)
1- BEING A MUSICIAN DOES NOT MAKE YOU GOD
2- YOU ARE NOT DAVID GILMOUR. AND EVEN DAVID GILMOUR IS A HUMAN BEING
3- DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND GETS HERSELF A NICE NIGHT ON YOUR ‘SPECIAL DAY’ IF IT IS GONE BECAUSE A GIG HAS BEEN BOOKED
4- ALWAYS REMEMBER: PEOPLE CAN BE BUSY. EVEN IF THEIR AREN’T MUSICIANS
5- MUSICIANS DON’T MAKE BABIES QUIT THEIR LIFE
6- IS NOT MANDATORY THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND WANTS BE AT EVERY SINGLE GIG.
7- NOT ALL THE GIRLS ARE STICKY AND GELOUS.
8- IF YOU COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS NOT ALWAYS UP TO WATCH YOU AND YOUR BAND PLAIN, THEN REMEBER YOUR RULES!
9- ALWAYS REMEMBER: IF A GIRL GIVE YOU THE HONOUR TO BE CALLED HER BOYFRIEND, IT IS NOT BECAUSE YOU PLAY WHATEVER YOU PLAY
10- BEING A MUSICIAN DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DON’T WASH YOURSELF.
11- DON’T ASSUME THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND LOVES EVERY SONG YOU MAKE. FOR YOU IS WORK, FOR HER IT ISN’T.
12- DON’T COMPLAIN IF SHE DOESN’T SHOW UP AT A PRACTICE, EVEN IF INVITED.
13- DON’T COMPLAIN IF SHE BOOKS HER HOLIDAY WHILE YOU ARE IN TOUR. SHE IS NOT PENELOPE AND PERHAPS SHE IS EVEN UNABLE IN USING THE SEWING MACHINE!
14- DON’T START A FIGHT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE IS OFFERING HER A BEER (ALWAYS REMEMBER: YOU ARE HER BOYFRIEND EVEN IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN!)
15- IT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE WANTS ALWAYS COME ALONG WITH YOUR BAND: SHE IS A HUMAN BEING, NOT A DOG. AND, YET, HER BAG IS NOT A POCKET. EVEN IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN.
16- SHE IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND, NOT YOUR SPRING OF SELF ESTEEM WHEN YOU GET BAD REVIEWS!!!
17- A BIG SECRET: A GIRL WANTS JUST LOVE AND RESPECT. GIVE HER THESE, AND YOU CAN BE A MUSICIAN, A SPACEMAN OR WHATEVER
18- LAST BUT NOT LEAST: DON’T APPLY THESE RULES IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A SILLY BIMBO GIRL. IN THIS CASE: YOUR PROBLEM!
actually, I’m dating a musician for the first time, and I honestly think that most of these rules makes sense..but I still think id be a little upset if a “special night” was cancelled by a gig lol …i wouldn’t complain out loud though
