Jeffp, these folks latched onto me a looong time before we started doing,"Don't Sail There".
Some folks think that a pirate band must be aimed at kids. We are a frequently rude adult-themed band that plays to adults drinking in an outdoor pub. When I am about to do a REALLY rude song, I make some obviously cautionary remarks to the parents in the crowd. I congratulate them on resisting unfair and restrictive pressures, and for having the pride in their iconoclastic parenting style to bring children into a bar full of drunks, then I tell the kids an amusing little story to tell the principal of their elementary school about where they learned those new words and phrases. Few parents take their kids away. One mom actually brought her boy right down front will I sang the most absolutely rude song I do. But this is really an example of self indulgent parents who bring their kids into a bar, then complain maybe that the music isn't what they think the little kiddies should be hearing.
My stalker family was much worse. They told me that they followed me because their daughter as an empowerment figure because she had been kidnapped by aliens and experimented on...a lot. I have no odea what happened in that girls bedroom, but I'm confident that it had little to do with bug-eyed aliens and therimin music. And they had proclaimed me their hero.
Your stories?...
