I own 4 electric guitars! I'm a Rocker!
Have you ever played live rock or metal music in front of an audience for money?
That's how *ech* defines a rocker.
Once a rocker always a rocker.
The NoblemanNope. Are you *currently* making money from playing rock music? That's how I define it. If you used to, then you used to be a rocker. I'm not saying that it should be your primary source of income, necessarily. You can be a weekend rocker! You can be a Sunday rocker. You can be someone who rocks a couple of weekends a year with your cover band down at the local pub. But I do think that in order to qualify as rocker, playing rock should be an important occupation in your life. Currently. Not twenty years ago. Also, merely enjoying rock isn't enough. I enjoy rock. So do my kids. So did my Grandparents. That doesn't make us rockers. It makes us rock appreciators. Or rock enthusiasts. Rockers? Well, rockers ROCK. It's something that they DO. It's not a passive endeavor. And it's something that they do NOW. Anyway, that's the nomenclature I like to adhere to. You don't have to agree. (but you'd damn well better pretend that you do!) Speaking of nomenclature, thanks to Aristocrat for stylizing my username correctly. Because it's *ech*, not Ech. Or *egg*. Or "ECH". God damn it! |

All of this is correct. That's why, when queried on my rocker status, I identify as a retired rocker. I didn't stay on the stage past my expiration date. I left the bitches in leathers wanting more. I left my flowing metal locks on the floor of a Pacific Beach salon in 1997, and there was no turning back for this guy.
Let the past be the past, I do say. Let us move on to new ventures.
Today, I identify primarily as the original ballerman, a retired rocker, a scarf fashionista, a "one handsome hunk of man," a ruckus branger, a world traveler, a scholar, an entrepreneur, an investor, a husband, father, and provider, a counsellor at law, and a most prodigious Electric Eye poster.

Box is a weird term for pussy but I guess I can see where it comes from. I mean, you can put things in a box, like you can put things in a vagina. So why not? Still, I find it weird and I don't think I'm alone.

Phuck, I guess I'm not really a rocker after all.  I haven't played a show since 2019. Although I expect to play one or more shows next year, I'm not sure there'll be any sort of payment beyond the free beers and dindin we usually command! |

Worry not. There's more to life than being a rocker. You're still a Frenchman, an esteemed translator, a Bukowski aficionado, a shit Maiden enthusiast, and a vagina slanger.
Yes?

Also, you got recognized in the street outside of an Exploited gig. |

The Nobleman... An esteemed translator? Live translations yes, but written translations are dead now, haven't had a client request in months! A shit Maiden enthusiast? Non! A top-shelf Maiden enthusiast. A vagina slanger? Hmmm, haven't punched a hole in months, maybe I should go to that RHCP tribute show tonight and see what I can find/get/punch. The Frenchman |

I'm not even sure about that, we're going to play fête de la musique, so we just may be setting up our own shit on a street corner and drinking whatever we bring ourselves! Does payment in applause count? |
