Advice I Could Have Done Without.

'You're just going to have to get over her.' Sage words from my ex-girlfriend's best friend. 'You should write a hit song; like the Scissor Sisters.' My father, God bless him, after visiting Melbourne and seeing my band. 'You're not quite nailing the fourth Act, you should do it better.' Some woman earlier this year at La Mama. I wanted more information, she didn't have it. 'If you don't get off your arse and chase it all down, it'll never happen.' A far better looking, more successful actor, telling me the cold hard facts of life. 'If you have that night cap of tequila you'll be hungover tomorrow.' Wait! That was advice I should have listened to. 'They do brains here that are to die for.' And like an idiot I bought the brains, in King's Cross, for breakfast. I will never eat organs again. 'Those kinds of things don't work out 95 per cent of the time.' This one I have heard way too often. BUT LOOK AT ME NOW!
