Sometimes, and I get this might be a bit of a radical notion, stuff happens unexpectedly! Also, there are a lot of things that are ongoing and can't just be put aside (like having kids, for example).
As for the "preciousness" of time when you actually have enough free time anyway to do things like being in a band: First World Problems, innit?
I'm not saying people should just be allowed to flake out whenever they want, but that people should consider the reasons why they did before bitching about it, 'kay?

Yeah I have time to be in a band, but why should I use my time to learn the parts when others in the band can't be arsed? If they've got more important stuff to do, fair enough but stop wasting my time in my band!
