The CD signing

Tonight, me and my oldest daugter went to a gig from Marc Lanegan in France. I thought the gig was great. Some songs didn't sound as good as the studio version live and others did. I really enjoyed it.

After the gig I bought a CD to support the band and found out Mark himself would be signing them 10 minutes later.

I always wondered what that would be a like, a CD signing. never had it done before, so being 46 I thought, why not, that's supposed to be great.

So we cueued up for a while, and then it was finaly our turn. I handed him the CD and said ''This one please'' 

He inspected the CD as if he wanted instructions from me wich I didn't have so all I could say is "I don't know''

I mean how the hell am I suposed to know, I never did any CD signing before, he signed loads of them. He knows better then me...

 

So at the end he decided to sign on the front cover. I just stared at him. I couldn't believe it. What he wrote didn't look like his name at all. It looks like a black meaningless line no one can read. If it wasn't for the fact I know he'd put it there, I myself wouldn't even believe it was his...

I took the CD and said Thank you. No idea what for....He didn't say a word to me and he ruined my CD cover !

What do people like about these kind of things?

I really wonder...

 

 

Note: Now, re-reading this 5 days after I wrote this,I do have to admit that it was really funny ;-)

We've been laughing about it a lot.

I really hope the guy is alright, because to tell you the truth, he didn't look to happy...

Hopefully it was all just an act from his side.

It would be a shame if it wasn't ;-(
