Random wears pink pants

[krisomniac]

So, in the fruror of getting back from the trip and starting up clinics, I totally forgot to mention the most random brush with fame.

I was at LAX, a little drunk from my little bro's graduation BBQ, about twenty minutes before the red eye to Chicago. There's these very clearly punk guys waiting on the first class line with me (sometimes fathers who travel and rack up the frequent flyer miles is a really good thing). Anyway, they look the way a band is supposed to look -- even at a random American terminal in LAX at midnight -- so much so that you figure they're just a bunch of guys acting like they're in a band.

Except they have groupies (who were all riding coach).

Anyway, the guy sitting next to me asks them if they are musicians. One guy (South African accent) replies they are. I ask my seat buddy to ask them what band. It's Seether. Who I've at least heard of, even if I couldn't recall a tune.

So yeah, brush with fame. Silly story. I slept for six hours beside a post-grunge rock band. They probably saw me drool. :D

SEETHER! Omg. I love their song Driven Under. It's the greatest fucked up relationship song ever!

sample:

Do you think I'm faking when I'm lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind? There's nothign left for me to lose.
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?

Do you know I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

I guess you know I’m faking
when I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
to everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
there’s nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
I need you. I breathe you.
I can’t go through this all again.
We have to succumb to
the feelings we can never face I need you.
I breathe you. I can’t go through this…

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man
Then she told me she had a gun
she says she wants to use it on me now…

They have an (indirect) SPN connection, actually. The soundtrack listing for the pilot has Gasoline, by the Living Daylights, but the cover doesn't actually seem to exist. Most people who think they have The Living Daylights version actually have the Seether version, though the SPN version is actually by Ginger.

Where were YOUR groupies? We were all riding back in coach too, getting no sleep at all.
