I just got fired from the boy band, I'm sure it's not age discrimination

Almost positive it is not age discrimination, artistic differences as guitarist. I’m 55 our son and friends are 15-16 in age, so the guys we’re bouncing off original ideas on guitar. So I sat down and asked here is idea I have for a original let me have your guitar and I started jamming zeppelin Kashmir in standard tuning. The band said that’s zeppelin Kashmir I fired back yes and zeppelin has plagiarized songs yet my lyrics are different.

So my lyrics with opening riff to Kashmir is. The lyrics were Sloppy joe sloppy joe sloppy joe , chorus is hey sloppy joe on a onion roll. These young guitar slingers did not appreciate my artistic vision, and once again I wanted to be the cute deep thinker in the boy band.

Not STEALING.


I watch a lot of home remodel shows, and came across this one-- Jonathan Knight of New Kids on the Block. (They're still touring??? But now they're NKOTB to avoid the jokes, no doubt.)

You could see if they need a cute guy.
