15 minutes of fame

ME!... in our most prestigous national newspape no less.

So I thought I would give my interpretation of what was actually said ( as well a saying LOOK AT ME!!!!!)
How to interpret a news article;
"practising in his garage"
I've never played in the garage in my life, I've a nice room in the house or as a band we use an excellent rehearsal studio... they took my picture in the garage 'cause the photographer said to set it up there.
"mild-mannered IT project manager"
Reality... I specialise in Projects that need to be saved.. it's unfortunate but when I take over a project your probably getting fired real soon.
"I keep it all together … I'm like the engine of a car."
Reality.. didn't say it was a good car, maybe like a 1964 Skoda with carby trouble..
"said the 50-year-old "
Reality.. the journo originally had me as 55... Bleep, bleep %^$$*@(
"while his band doesn't expect to trouble the pop charts any time soon, "we do good"."
reality... at the moment we couldn't get a decent gig if we paid for it.
"Most of them have no illusions about their skill"
Reality.. yes I do, but maybe it's a delusion.
"20 cymbals in three years"
Reality.. well it was 20 in two days, maybe 40 in three years.. but they were a bargain, honest.
"It's more than just a hobby or unfinished business"
Reality.. I specifically said it's got nothing to do with unfished business.. I just like playing drums, no freudian, deep cerebral pyschcological mumbo jumbo....

All a bit of fun though.
My 15 minutes of fame...

Once again, I find myself at the beginning
