I'd just met a new friend, always a bit nerve wracking and we were edging our way into his friend's gig. It was in a tiny theatrette, we weren't too inconspicuous. We had had a few quick drinks to calm the nerves and the band was playing, they started into a new song. I began to listen to the words..OMG! I felt like they had a roving spotlight and it was pointing right at us. It was about internet dating, (the singer was a best friend of his from way back).We gave each other nervous sideways glances, gulp.... self consciousness set in as the song went on so did the cringing. It was like getting heckled by a comedian when you've turned up late. I had heard the lead singer had met her boyfriend/guitarist on the net, but this wasn't making me feel any better.
The song was finally over! Thank god! the songs that followed were a blend of folk/bluegrass/rock, with some amazing music and lyrics. The guy in question is still my best mate, though he's engrossed in work interstate. I still remember the above moment like I'd been like a rabbit caught in headlights though.
