I had this epiphany last night, while I was sitting at the Churchill’s bar sipping my third Jack and Coke: Every single bar in Miami (and possibly the whole country) has at least one TV set tuned to ESPN at all times. I went outside and saw Penny talking to a police officer. She was drinking a beer and carrying a huge lighter. Penny has been hanging out in the Churchill’s parking lot for at least 10 years.
The cop car drove away and Penny said, “The cops around here are so
sweet. They play guitar in a band just like you.” She lit a Newport and
continued, “Theres/ good cops and bad cops, you know? Those guys are
good.” I went back inside, as it was time for my band, Died in a Plane
Crash, to perform.
As I plugged the cables into the amplifiers, I felt good. I love
making music. Blinded by flashing lights, I watched Arquimedes bang on
the drums as I tweaked the distortion and delay effects. I felt like I
had just won the Super Bowl as we sludged through our 15-minute set. A
few noteworthy locals like AHOLSNIFFSGLUE and Rat Bastard stopped by
to see us. Sometimes, when there are just a few people in the audience,
it is better. Died in a Plane Crash would like to thank Dave Daniels of
Churchill’s Pub for keeping great music alive since 1979.
