ROCKERS REPUTATION

Most people know about the rock stars propensity to trash hotel rooms, but not many people know why. This story might explain their behaviour. A famous rock star, who shall remain nameless, was resting up in his hotel room in LA after an exhausting world tour. All he wanted that night was some well-deserved rest and peace and quiet, so after a long hot bath, the musician got into bed and attempted to get some sleep. However, his attempts at sleep were disturbed by a frantic buzzing sound. Realising it was a fly, he rolled up a magazine and tried to swat it, but the tired man kept missing. Getting increasingly frustrated, he kept going after the fly, ignoring the fact that he was knocking over furniture and breaking ornaments. At one point, he lost his footing and, hitting his head, knocked himself out. The musician was revived an hour later by angry hotel staff, who assumed the rock star had got drunk and wrecked his room. In pursuit of the elusive fly, he had caused over three thousand dollars' worth of damage and was banned from that particular hotel. He now takes a pet spider everywhere he goes.
