Good musician friend turned down $3K gig because Chimpy would be there
So proud (he made sure the contractor on the job understood why too). "I'm not going to entertain that bastard". LOL

3. Bravo!
And money gigs are hard to come by. I hope many more lucrative gigs come your friend's way.

6. He's doing well enough
so he doesn't absolutely need the money, but he says he would have turned it down anyway. I believe him.

11. "I'm not going to entertain that bastard"
no, but he could have made that bastard uncomfortable by playing one anti-war song after another, kind of like the funeral for Coretta Scott King.

13. You're right--it wasn't enough to give up $3,000
he should have eliminated any possibility of working for the contractor again too...that would teach Bush a lesson :silly:
