I Am Serious About Being Serious

I am seriously going to get really serious now.

I am not bragging when I tell you that I was in

Rock-N-Roll Bands

during the 1980's.

It is a fact

and when I reference this fact,

it is only to prove my point on an issue,

show that I know what I am talking about,

  not that I am just bragging about it.

Where I came from,

I used to get hassled by customers at a local establishment I would patronize,

because I was one of the first to embrace what was called

"The New Wave"

of music back in the 80's.

I would go into the Tavern,

wearing my

"Checkered Jacket"

with a a piece of

"Tin Foil Safety-Pinned"

to my lapel

and would be surrounded by a bunch of

Country Rock Hillbillies 

before I finished my first

Gin & Tonic.

  Back then,

I listened to the

Circle Jerks,

Dead Kennedys,

Sex Pistols,

and

The Ramones

when everyone around me still listened to

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

It wasn't until

The Cars

and

Blondie

became mega-stars that the

Jethro Bodines

of my little hick town noticed there is more then one kind of music.

I was hassled in bars I patronized

and I was hassled for the music I played in clubs until the rest of the community caught up.

All of a sudden,

I was admired for what I was doing.

So I know hecklers.

And the person who

Commented

on my Post;

Thank You One And All,

where he said:

"When someone says that they learned something from you I'm sure it's what not to do lol." 

I know hecklers

and this person is a serious heckler who can't see the seriousness in what I am doing here.

I am serious about my writing,

I am serious about my Blog,

and I am serious when I say,

Stick And Stones Will Break My Bones, But Your Name Calling Will Never Hurt Me!

So there!

This is,

Me Taking My Ball And Going Home Because I Don't Feel Like Playing Anymore,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I don't believe in being serious about anything. I think life is too serious to be taken seriously."

- Ray Bradbury -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
