As morbid as it may sound, I would often fantasize that I would be in the crowd at a Scream gig and an announcement would come booming over the PA system—“We apologize for any inconvenience, but due to an emergency with their drummer, Scream will not be able to perform tonight. That is . . . unless there’s someone in the audience who can fill in for him . . .”—and I would jump up on the drum set and save the day. Juvenile, I know, but hey . . . a kid can dream .
