Jeezzzs Bob...your as bad as I am...lol

Actually I only ever had to get rid of one guy, a guitar player. He knew better than to be smoking dope at our paid rehearsal stage that I rented. I like the guy and we are still friends but no dope means no dope.

We only had a few rules. Show up on time for sound check. No drugs or drinking on the job. Don't mess with the vocalist. She is married and her husband is a real nice guy till you start messing with his wife. He was about 6'4 and 250 pounds. One look at him and that rule was a no brainer...lol

I know some bands do some crazy stuff and if you are famous perhaps you can get away with it. I have seen my share of famous and non famous musicians die from drugs and drinking and other equally stupid stuff. Bad stuff man.

I know perhaps some people don't understand the business side of the music business. I can assure you Joe Walsh did just what he was told to do when he worked for the Eagles. Joe has been sober now for 25 years.

I refuse to apologize for old school work ethic.
