What is it with stupid people and large group activities? Or is it large people and stupid group activities? Or just large stupid activities for group people?
Oh, just forget it!
In case you do not know why this is here.
Now I want to see 1,684 drummers playing the black page.

I guess people like to feel they ‘belong’. Something to do with personal identity or security or something. Ask your local shrink. I can think of better ways of doing this than playing Smoke on the Water though!
Oh blargh!
My condolences to Deep Purple, & the hearing-unimpaired.
This eats … makes me want to undergo unnecessary pancreatic surgery minus anaesthetic, just to take my mind off its uglitude … back around 2000, they tried this locally with “Takin’ Care of Business” (old BTO 70’s hit) as blithered by circa 1400 gutboxes ALL AT ONCE … & caused much joy among the lucid when the stoned-out(???) mob of axe-meisters failed to convey the songs subtle je ne sais quack before their time was up.
Can a 5,000-guitar “Stairway To Heaven” be far behind?
(makes a face even worse than Steve Vai in mid-solo)
Where’s Studabaker Hoch when you need him?
Hell, they’re not hurting anyone. And it keeps them all in one place.
