"Band Drama"; or, Don't be this person

[ZenGum]

Citing "artistic differences"
The band broke up in May
And in June reformed without me
and they got a different name...

What a socially inept question to ask! Why don't you guys like me? Huh? Huh?

There is no way that can be answered without being unkind. I'd say best option is to be clinical and precise with the unkindness, aiming for a surgical amputation of hope, rather than putting a bandaid over the festering wound of self-delusion.

We asked you to leave because you were not a very skilled musician, did not fit well with the group, and behaved unprofessionally on stage. Given that you think it is appropriate to ask me such an awkward question, it is unlikely that these things have changed, so you're still out. Move on.


Keyboardist's name wasn't Pam, was it?
