Responsible dad rocker. You'll probably end up enjoying it.
What type of material will you be doing?

If making money while playing guitar, drinking beer and watching girls dance is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Fuck the haters. Have fun bro.

Not at all my friend. I miss writing and playing my own stuff but with three kids it's hard to do. I love playing and the cover band I'm in allows me to do that. Enjoy it!

Open bar tab too! I do have to drive home, though, so I can't exactly take advantage of that.
Not a bad monday night, eh?

People actually show up for cover shows, so yeah...getting paid to drink beer and play guitar.
Win-win for me.

Getting paid to play easy stuff...
What's the issue? That bought like half my gear I acquired last year.

15 years ago I would have said sell out.
Now I would be happy to play in a 90's cover band... But I am too lazy to learn the songs

You should do it

I'd say awesome rocker dad

Playing guitar in a '70s rock cover band has been the best thing I have done for my playing in years. It forced me to practice and I get to learn a bunch of killer songs I grew up air-guitaring to as a kid

And as someone else said; people actually show up and you get paid!

Enjoy the gig.
