It seems like the number of drummers I meet and come into contact with is disproportionate to my interaction with those of other professions, like say, doctors, lawyers, etc. (and I know there are a lot of lawyers out there!). But, no, it's drummers. I don't find anything wrong or bad about this, I think drummers are fabulous people, male and female, I'm just curious about the attraction. Am I secretly a drummer? Maybe I just radiate a vibe like I want to pound and beat on things. I wonder if I'm just connecting with others in touch with the primordial beat of life....Ok, the truth is (no offense to drummers), but it feels like, yet, more confirmation that I am not intended for mainstream American life. Let's face it, who less equipped to conform to the flatness of this prozac nation, than drummers...

Just for today, I can embrace my inner drummer.
