Oh you don't have to play what people like. Just look at us !
You guys target the crowds who shout "play us something none of us know"
Wow, that’s my dream audience. Did not know it actually existed somewhere.
It gets tough when they yell “play something you know “

It takes a lot of work to create a set list as truelly unfamiliar, polarising (unidirectionally), repelling and upsetting as we do.
I like to think of it as non consensual aural sets

There's only one option left now Bruce - you have survived cancer so that's a sign that you have to get religion & take up playing at church.

My friend, I did that at the beginning of my youth. We've now got the relationship sorted to everyone's satisfaction.

In the working men's clubs of Northern England you'd get: "Play summut we liiiike. Play Simply the Best". You'd get the Crème Brûlée guy (for lovers of League of Gentlemen): "Is that a Fender Strat?" Being the bingo's support act. Lazy $%#$%#@ singer doing her makeup the entire time it took to unload and set up the gear. Taking turns being squashed in the back of the van. Bluffing The Final Countdown solo. Having to play More Than Words. Christ, it was all shit.

Gold watch? I'll be happy to escape without a parking ticket.
No, wait. Actually the parking ticket would be a fine.
Fixed
