He’s happy he got the gig, let’s give him some slack and congratulations.

True, but normal people manage to be happy without behaving like utter knobs.

Hold on, this is a forum for bassists. Why am I talking about 'normal people'?

As it happens, I know this guy.

Richard's been around for ages in loads of rock bands and though he's a bit corny with his 'image projection' he's actually a really good bloke and totally reliable, unlike most people in bands. When I knew him he was having trouble with a bad glaucoma but he didn't let it get him down or stop him volunteering for a local charity.

If he's finally struck it lucky and got himself a gig with a signed band then good luck to him, even if he's got a bit of a showbiz way with words. At least he can quit the zero hours van driving contract if that's what he' still doing :).

You fell for it, you suckers.

I knew you reminded me of someone. Of course. You're the wandering spirit of Stephen Potter, aren't you? Good to have you back.

At some point as he tours the globe he's probably going to find out that there's a drummer in the US already using the name 'Rikki Styxx' and she's already won the 'who comes up first (and only) in a Google search' competition.

... at which point he could change it to the possibly more apt Rikki Stynx.....

If I were as accomplished a parodist as the late Mr Potter I'd have written the original JoinMyBand Ricky Styxx post as bait designed to provoke people into paroxysms of hatred and sanctimonious drivel. But I didn't.

Or did I?

You missed out the bit about saving drowning puppies.
