this author confused and difficult to understand? Never
fiction

Again said author has been criticised for being confused and difficult to understand in his writing. Confusing come on titles of mysterious anecdotal tid bits disguised as literature difficult to understand? Never!
Below is a rewrite; today's ripoff. Author is a little hung over from lack of sleep and has temporarily lost the ability to write about nothing. This is a repost of a previous "story". Filler for a slow day in the writing for free business.
roadie etiquette=how to act when your former partner or close friend no longer needs you
fiction
Edward w Pritchard
Rules
of etiquette change for roadies as the original band changes. Members
of the group come and go but the original band name usually stays
intact. Individual band members change with the success and failures
that come with a life in and out of the spotlight and fame scars people
in different ways.
Over the years a roadie's stamina
will wane. A roadie may work at one thousand successful gigs but one
blundering failure obscures decades of diligent effort. Sadly one bad
setup is how a roadie will be remembered. Ultimately no one remembers a
roadie or prints his picture on an album cover.
A
roadies nickname will change occasionally. The changes that a roadies
nickname go through are often more revealing of a roadies reputation and
status with the band than the tone of voice the band members greet the
roadie with in meetings after work or the fact that the roadie must stay
at a cheaper hotel than the band members or no longer rides to gigs in a
limo or a taxi when hitting a new town or exotic location.
A
roadie knows he has become obsolete when instead of being moon scar or
boner he becomes Mr. Johnson or "nuisance" to members of the group.
Of
course original members of the band who are still around after half a
century don't want to be reminded of their age especially by a roadie
when he is carrying their guitar cases or setting up drums. Roadies
should address band members only when necessary in the course of
business and not be chummy or touchy feely with them. Roadies should not
talk during meet and greets and shouldn't express personal opinions
unless solicited. After work don't ask band members about their health
or their private lives.
Roadies don't have pension plans and no one writes books or magazine articles about retired or replaced roadies.
Rules
of etiquette for roadies change over time and a good roadie will have
thick skin and not confuse proximately and access to band members with
friendship or fame itself.
