<p><strong>YOU KNOW YOU'RE TOO OLD &nbsp;TO PLAY GIGS WHEN:</strong> &nbsp;<br /> <strong><br /> </strong><strong>* It &nbsp;becomes more important to find a place on stage for your fan than your &nbsp;amp.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;Your gig clothes make you look like George Burns out for a round &nbsp;of golf.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;All your fans leave by 9:30 &nbsp;p..m.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;All you want from groupies is a foot massage and back &nbsp;rub.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You love taking the elevator because you can sing along with most &nbsp;of your set-list.<br /> </strong><strong>* Instead of a fifth member, your band &nbsp;wants to spring for a roadie.<br /> </strong><strong>* You lost the directions to the &nbsp;gig.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You need your glasses to see the amp &nbsp;settings.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You've thrown out your back jumping off the &nbsp;stage.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You feel like hell before the gig even &nbsp;starts.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;The waitress is your daughter!<br /> </strong><strong>* You stop the set because your &nbsp;ibuprofen fell behind the speakers.<br /> </strong><strong>* Most of your crowd just sways in &nbsp;their seats.<br /> </strong><strong>* You find your drink tokens from last &nbsp;month's gig in your guitar case.<br /> </strong><strong>* You refuse to play without &nbsp;earplugs.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You ask the club owner if you can start at 8:30 instead of &nbsp;9:30.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You check the TV schedule before booking a &nbsp;gig.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;Your gig stool has a back.<br /> </strong><strong>* You're related to at least one member &nbsp;in the band.<br /> </strong><strong>* You don't let anyone sit &nbsp;in.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You need a nap before the gig..<br /> </strong><strong>* After the third set, you bug the club &nbsp;owner to let you quit early.<br /> </strong><strong>* During the breaks, you now go to the &nbsp;van to lie down.<br /> </strong><strong>* You prefer a music stand with a &nbsp;light<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You don't recover until Tuesday &nbsp;afternoon.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You hope the host's speech lasts &nbsp;forever.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You buy amps considering their weight and not their tone or &nbsp;"cool" factor.<br /> </strong><strong>* You can remember seven different club &nbsp;names for the same location.<br /> </strong><strong>* You have a hazy memory of the days &nbsp;when you could work 10 gigs in 7 days and could physically do &nbsp;it!<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;Your date couldn't make it because she couldn't find a babysitter &nbsp;for the grandkids.<br /> </strong><strong>* The set list has to be in 20 point &nbsp;type.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;Your drug of choice is now &nbsp;coffee.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;It seems impossible to find stage shoes with decent arch &nbsp;support.<br /> </strong><strong>* &nbsp;You fart on stage and don't &nbsp;laugh</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
