Performing for the Mentally Handicapped

In my first post, I mentioned the time my college band played a dance for the mentally handicapped. That brought back a lot of memories. Or it would have, if I hadn't killed so much brain matter with alcohol. In beer's defense, it was 20 years ago and I still have three distinct recollections:

  1. The crowd loved it. Our drummer was a volunteer for local mental heath services and told us they talked about it a lot afterward.
  2. We played "Comfortably Numb". I remember that feeling ironic.
  3. There was a hot girl there. I would have been all over that if she hadn't been retarded.
