complete & utter BULLSHIT.
I am really, really pissed off right now.
2 Sundays ago , I was out on the back of my property with my brand-new
chain saw, having some fun . A gigantic oak had been felled by a recent
storm & my 10 year old son & I decided to spend the day together
, me chain sawing the oak & splitting the wood , & my son piling
it up in the wheelbarrow & hauling it back up to the deck . We spent
all day doing this & by nightfall the deck was packed with firewood
with not an inch to spare . We had a gigantic fire that night & all
was well with the world.
The next day , I absolutely could not move . My back was out - I never
have any problems with my back whatsoever & it is rare for me to be
immobile . I thought it would get better in a couple of days, but by that
Friday it was still not showing any signs of improvement . So I booked
an appointment with Dr. Grabelle, my doctor for the last 10 years or so.
Although it was an effort even getting out of the car & into the Doctor's
office , I got myself in there because I had to drive to Boston in the
next couple of days to finish the DVD, & basically I have no time to
be immobile right now. Dr. Grabelle came in the room & asked me about
me what was wrong , filled out a prescription , & then immediately
launched into a 20 minute history lesson about how his son was " really
big in the music business , too". As I sat there , in pain, I nodded my
head & rolled my eyes at my wife , who was in the room with us , as
Dr. Grabelle went on & on about his son's record label , how much money
he has , blah blah blah . To humour the man , & to get out of the Dr.'s
office to fill my prescription to get some relief, I congratulated his
son on his success & said jokingly something to the effect of "If he
has a million dollars or so & wants to sign me up , tell him to give
me a call" as I hobbled out of the Doctor's office & made the painful
trek back to the car outside.
Now there is a story on blabbermouth.net , a site that I enjoy
& frequent regularly , about my Dr's son saying that I am looking for
a new record label !!!!! Yes being famous is fun , but I have to say that
it is shit like this that makes what I do an extreme challenge sometimes.
I think I should be able to go to a Dr's office & get medical treatment,
like anyone else, right ? BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I have to listen to complete
drivel about bands & music & record labels I have never heard of,
& could give a fuck less about , when all I want is a little relief
for a sore back . And as far as "doctor/patient confidentiality" goes ,
I guess if you a rock musician you are out of luck !
For the record: NO I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A NEW RECORD LABEL .
I am completely happy & content with the record label I am signed
to right now.
You will see how happy I am on May 18 when the first ever Sebastian
Bach DVD hits the stores - the 'FOREVER WILD' DVD is something which I
am %100 proud of & you will see why on May 18 !
Oh yeah- Dr. Grabelle - me & my 'super-hot wife' will not be requiring
your 'services' anymore .
