He did love. He played the drums for years after. He really enjoyed it. They gave him up. He he really got into it. He did the talent shows at the high school he went to. Oh, what did he play? Do you remember Gentleman X? Oh, God. He did the talent shows at the high school he went to. Oh. What did he play? Do you remember Gentleman X? Oh, god.

Yeah, someone sprayed acid on my head What really was in Isletown yeah through a rock at a guy's window And you got your comeuppance yeah, it might have been bleep. I don't remember what it was, but he dumped it all over my head Next is the victim of an acid attack So what was George playing

So he was a sophomore there were two seniors one of them was an ROTC Okay, and he didn't have many friends, but he liked him. Okay, like You were there watch oh, it's also like feel free to just let's just say you're George's representative in this story So if you want to say I feel free and everyone understands you're talking about you're talking as George So they they decided to play Alice in Chains. Okay. What was that song where he screams good? Oh, fuck my ass. I'm the man with no cock.

Exactly. That's the one. And there was a freshman singer and he only did like screamo shit. Oh, god. And he had like purple hair and like fucked up ears because he just pierced his butt. Yeah, yeah, he had a bunch. He had those gauges. And he sung terribly and we lost. That's tough to do Screamo because our high school,

which we all went to the same high school, was 85% black. So you could do some white shit. You could do a rock. You could do whatever. But Screamo was a little too white for a majority black school. Across the line of whiteness. Unless you really killed it, and this guy did not,

if memory serves. If I remember this singer, he was also obsessed with Invader Zim. Yeah, he was. He was. He was one of those guys. Would always wear a Hot Topic zip-up Invader Zim hoodie. Oh, man.
