something strange happened on the way home

[Drew Katsikas]

Something very weird happened to me, as well. Today, I went to the music shop to get a string. However, there was a beuatiful looking Gibson Firebird, which I needed to try out. So I amped up, and just fucked around for a while. I started playing the riff to "Twist and Shout."

Then this kid, maybe 16, pops up out of nowhere, and says "You have to show me how to play that!"

He had no guitar and he was just standing there looking at me with a strange excited face. I looked at him, trying to see if he was retarded or something, but he was completley normal in every way. So, I played the riff real slow like, and said "there." I turned around and started playing again.

So I started playing some other things, but the kid still stood there standing there, hovering over me. 2 Minutes went by, and the kid said, "No, it went like this." He then proceeded to hum the riff. I didn't know what to say. I bumbled some "um's" and "yeahs" and played the riff again. He kept standing there, staring at me. I told him I had to go, hung up the guitar, and took off.

It was very strange, he had no friends around him, so it wasn't him fucking with me to get a laugh. Very weird.
