It could be like the zombie virus, where it takes over your brain and make you send post.

You don't have to be drunk. Texting an ex, if you do it right, is an easy hookup in 8 out of 10 cases. Even if she's with somebody! Try it.

Yeah, but most of the time when you're sober you know exactly why that person is an ex. LOL

Rule #1 boys: never get attached. Marriage was the single stupidest thing I ever did, and i'm just lucky I got the kids.

"FULL of professional musicians"???
You've got it all wrong:
A "professional musician" is someone who makes a living (pays the bills) solely off of their craft... not a weekend warrior bar band player.

Funny a guy that has never played a gig in his life trying to define what a musician is.

Sometimes music has paid for food and sometimes it hasn't. You do what you gotta do. But after studying music at the Conservatory, touring 30 out of 50 states, designing, building, owning and operating a recording studio for 10+ years serving clients, being on CD releases, dozens of years playing out 2-3 nights a week, working in 2-3 bands simultaneously for more than 10 years at a time, rehearsals, shows, staging, running sound, repairing and maintaining equipment, even doing lights; hard experience is hard experience. I couldn't care less if any anonymous schizophrenic forum lurker thinks I'm professional or not. It's all been good and valuable experience to me. If other folks don't want to benefit from it, I can just keep it to myself.

That's precisely why your definition needed correcting.
But seriously, no bar band player worth their salt (myself included back in the day) would/should have the cojones to call themselves a "Professional Musician".
That stage is, quite simply, "Semi-Pro".
People gotta get it out of their heads that playing in bars is some kind of amazing musical accomplishment. It isn't. Billions have done it before.
Like I've said, "who hasn't played in the bars?"
When you can pay your mortgage, car payment, food, bills and send the kids to college solely off of the proceeds of your music career, then
and only then can you call yourself a "Professional Musician".
Real world examples:
Johnny Bar Band Player: Semi-Pro
Eric Johnson: Pro
Johnny Bar Band Player: Semi-Pro
Studio Session Musician: Pro
Johnny Bar Band Player: Semi-Pro
Ritchie Blackmore: Pro

I actually do know several "Johnny Bar Band Players/ wedding bands/ whatever bands" that pay their bills off of gigs. I have several friends who are in a wedding band/ cover band together and pay not only their rent, but their schooling from gigs alone.
