Lost Bird Resigns from Down Tyme
Faremount. After three years of playing with the highly popular band "Down Tyme", Lost Bird hangs up his guitar and microphone and gives up his dreams of becoming the next Chris Isaak.
"I don't know what the rest of the band is going to do," Lost Bird states. "But I just can't do this anymore. It's too much driving and too much stress to drive up from Nebraska and try to make it to these gigs all the time."
Finishing his last gig in Jewisville last weekend, Lost Bird ended up in another bar fight with resident barfly, known only as "Charley". Charley began an arguement with a friend about not showing up on time for pull-tabs and then it got heated. The little bartender and another short stout woman (as is the pattern for women of Jewisville), tried to haul Charley out of the bar before it got too heated. Lost Bird switched into Corrections Officer mode and tried to lend a hand. Putting Charley in an arm bar and escorting him to the door, the man wiggled out and popped Lost Bird in the kisser. Lost Bird having the fuse of Joe Pesci returned the gesture. One of the little fat women tried to step in the middle and Charley grabbed her by the throat and said he was going to kill her. The woman, by chance, happens to be his neice. Lost Bird decided to pop him again for good measure and knocked his glasses off. It was like a scene from LA Confidential with Russel Crowe. Charley went after Lost Bird again and then LB's cop buddy, Kevin Washer stepped in and booted hi ass out the door.
Yeah, I don't know what I'm thinking walking away from that.
Tonight is Lost Birds last gig with Down Tyme. At the Sir Loin House in Faremount. He will miss the band greatly, but is looking forward to time spent with Suzanne Spinner.
What will become of Down Tyme? Lost Bird states, "Y'know, karma hates me, so more than likely, after I leave, some hot shot resort owner will hire them to play in the carribean for a $1,000 a pop!"
