In a
Post
I wrote in 2016
called
I talked about my
"Glory Days"
of playing in
Rock Bands
with some of my friends from years gone by.
I talked about when I was visiting my family in
Wisconsin
and was invited by
The Professor
from
Bowie State University in Maryland,
to participate in an impromptu jam session
but was unable to go.
This got me to thinking about how it felt to be on stage in front of a crowd.
Which I call
The Rock Star Syndrome.
I thought about the last time I felt like a
Rock Star.
During the 1990's I owned season tickets to the
football team.
On one occasion I took my wife to a game.
Before the game started,
out in the parking lot
and inside the concourse,
The Marine Corps
from
were outside the stadium demonstrating equipment
and showing off some of their larger vehicles of war.
Just inside the entrance to the stadium,
in the common area,
there stood a
Tank.
It was guarded by five or six
Marines
and they recognized me from working at
Camp Pendleton.
They started yelling,
"Hey, there's Jim. Hi Jim!"
They all waved
and yelled
and I waved back to them.
With the biggest smile on my face.
All around the area people were staring at me wondering who I was.
Was I a celebrity,
a person of prominence,
or maybe a
Rock Star?
It was crowded too!
People stared at me
and talked about me all the while I was walking to my seat.
It was the last time that I felt like a
Rock Star!
My wife loved it too!
Thank you
Marines.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
