Two friends were doing a talent show in college and I learned the bass part of "Where is My Mind" the hour before, having never touched a string instrument in my life.
I learned along with Cliff Williams, Dee Dee Ramone, and the dude who played In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida.
I learned that nobody has ever said "This band sucks because the bass player doesn't play enough different notes."
I also learned that that dude who played In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida went on to work with MX missiles and national security projects and drove his car off a cliff and nobody found his carcass for 4 years so he has his own conspiracy kooks.
