I was reminded of a funny story while reading wired's thread about being filmed without approval. My story doesn't have much to do with his thread topic other than I put a smart-a comment at the end of his thread and it triggered a memory I wanted to share.

I have a friend from way back in the day - 40 years ago or so. I haven't seen him in much of that time as he moved away.

He was a local singer and was sought after by a lot of the bands around here because there weren't that many good singers back then.

He had answered an ad for a singer to join an up and coming band out of Rockford. It's a good hour and a half away from here. He went up and auditioned. He was told he had been invited to join the band but turned it down because (in his own words) the band was a bunch of weirdos.

Any idea who he was referring to?
