I've been 'the idiot' in those circumstances too many times to remember. Nowadays I usually just go for the company. I have a mate who is an addicted fisherman, and I sometimes go with him and sit and have a beer and go home with nothing. All good.
I once saw a T shirt with the words; Theres a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot. Or something like that. It resonated with me immediately.
I have a broad, eclectic, taste in music. I listen to what I like, and I tend to like more complex and/or fringe stuff. I cant say I know of scarr but some Beefheart has sometimes been quoted as seminal punk. Redneck twang?
