Playing Cops for Real, Playing Cops for Pay

About a month or so ago (is time extra wibbly wobbly for anyone else? Months and weeks collapse into a few hours and some days seem to last weeks?) Darin from Punk Rock Karaoke saw that I am an old school punk, and he offered me an opportunity to join him and his band to sing a song of my choice. I am not musical at all. Like, I love music, and I sing along all the time, but I’m not a singer or a musician, so I was like OMG YES and then that voice in my head I try so hard not to listen to was all THEY’RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU! But I was all shut up, voice. It’s punk! I can totally fake it. So I did. It was the single scariest thing I’ve ever done, creatively, in my life. I can not even begin to tell you how far out of my comfort zone this took me, and how happy I am with the result. It was so much fun, and I can’t wait until I can do it live with the band. Here I am, singing the Dead Kennedys classic, Police Truck, with Punk Rock Karaoke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AK-s...

Brandon Excellent choice considering the state of things right now. Cool shirt too. Gonna have to find one for myself. The only time I attempted to sing in my old punk band was when we covered Living on a Prayer. Never did it live. Good on you for overcoming that fear. It's a killer.
