Last Gig In Venice


I did my last gig with the Venice band. Tree Man stopped by, but he seemed to be in a bad mood. It looked like he was overwhelmed by the attention he was getting. He was an unhappy tree, dead wood. He didn’t even bother to sing a song. He walked in and walked out.
            The General sang a song instead. The General is a Jamaican guy who thinks he’s Bob Marley. He isn’t. Once The General gets on stage it hard to get him off. He insisted that we play another song with him. We didn’t. The General is a good nickname for the guy. He does start to give orders.  He has a real high opinion of himself. He’s downright conceited. I’ve always thought of him as a Rasta poser. He’s probably not even from Jamaica. He could very well be from Venice Beach.
