Court Dates

I was in court the other day acting as a character witness for a friend. Its an interesting situation, one i hope I don't have to go through too many times in my life. I mean I'd do that sort of thing for any friend but it certainly gives you a whole new perspective on life, on people and believing in people.

I didn't have anything to hide nor did my friend but when folks are trying to create a certain picture of someone they often try to create the same sort of picture of you, the friend even though they have never spent any time or had any real association with you.  Because of my association with musicians it even spilled over into trying to create stero types.  I tell you it seemed as if no one was safe.

I am not saying it was really damaging to my character (or my friend's), or that I'm going to change the way I live or who I associate with (musicians are still welcome at Salty Towers) but it gives you a sense of what direcction people travel when they are trying to get what they want or feel they deserve.

Nothing stranger than folk (people, not the music!)

Cheers!
