i have musician friends. (don't be impressed. all geeky girls do). anyway, one of these friends (and by default thereby, all of us) has found himself suddenly in possession of a "wayne".

any of you who have musical or artistic friends will have met a wayne at some point. waynes' start out seeming harmless enough. they pop up at the odd show. have a chat, maybe a beer afterwards. then they appear more regularly. in more places. soon, you have yourselves a real problem.

now, wayne is a nice guy. don't get me wrong. but he and his kind invade peoples' lives and try to live vicariously through them and those that they know. yes, he's an aging "musician". yes, it's a shame his dreams never came true. no, none of us know what to do about him - short of offending him. and as i said, he's a nice guy - what do you do ?
