I stink at getting gigs...
I'm not what you'd call the darling of the Richmond Music scene, or any scene really. I look at other regional musicians- ranging from the good, the bad, and the indifferent- and they all have plenty of gigs lined up on their calendars. Every once in awhile I get a humdinger like America's Cup Of Polo- in front of 10,000 people. But for me, my calender is usually wide open. A few farmer's markets every other month, a coffee shop here and there, a landromat or something. But you can bet on most Friday or Saturday nights, I'm making videos for youtube, rather than playing for a live audience. While it is frusturating, I try to look on the bright side. A few of my youtube videos have reached almost 50,000 people. Whereas a live show would get me on average 50 people at best. I could be touring every little club on God's Green earth, and still not have as many listeners. The music industry is changing, and maybe filling your calender every day of the week with a club is 'ol hat. But I sure do miss it when I'm not on stage. I usually get as nervous as a hen out of a coup- or in my case, a rooster, but the thrill of playing live cannot be beat. Go ask any musician if he prefers playing live or in the studio- and nine out of ten they will say the stage is where it feels like heaven.
So I just don't know, if I stink at booking or what. It seems like just to get a regular gig I have to grovel at people . "Oh pleeeeeease" Let me play at your hole in the wall?" But most of the time, they will tell me they prefer jazz or blues. I get so irked with this. Time for my afternoon nap!

Meade's sin-filled search for fame has obviously done nothing but irritate God.
God has no doubt struck down this pride-filled selfish man.
Meade has only himself to blame....

He can't get any gigs, because he has too many demands. He won't play in a place that serves alcohol. Also, he wants a huge buffet and a keg of Sweet Tea at each gig.

And the men's room must have a glory hole.
Meade knows what his public wants and he delivers.
There is the added bonus that if he has a big throbbing cock in his mouth he can't sing.
And Jizz averages 25 calories per teaspoon...He can get a warm snack and still not fall off of his diet.

Meade had the realization that nobody wanted to book him 10 years ago.
Meade of course, soon deleted this his blog that this thread is based on.
One of the best things about FFXU is that it has archived Meade's failures.
Also, it rebuts the "Chicken at Kroger's" lie. The few places that were still booking Meade out of pity may have thrown in the towel at that point, but really his bookings were on the decline years before that. Maybe Meade actually knows that 'uppity negro' and 'colored' and offensive and turn people away. Maybe it is easier for him to scream about how Libtards and SJWs are too easily offended these days instead of the real reason he doesn't get gigs, his mediocrity.

He is deliberately offensive (me chineeeeeeeese!) so he can believe his offensiveness is the reason he isn't getting gigs.

Would it have to be deliberate?
People often say they sabotage themselves because of 'Fear of Success' when it really is fear of failure on a more visible level.

Meade's future

Meade may be overlooking his best prospects: senior facilities. The old ladies at Imperial Plaza and Westminster-Canterbury would love Meade, and they are loaded with money. Many old ladies also regress to a state not unlike horny teenage girls, and they would definitely have designs on Meade's purity. Meade's ability to resist sins of the flesh would certainly be tested.
Those who did not find Meade's music to their taste could sill enjoy the show by simply turning off their hearing aids and watching Meade's smiling face and flexing moobs, and perhaps some bunny-humping around Easter time. Perhaps Meade could perform in a Speedo and walk around singing and holding out a hat while old ladies fished coins and bills out of their handbags. Sometimes Meade would have a "captive audience" with dozens of drooling, vegetative, wheelchair-bound residents parked in front of him and unable to get away.
This is the future! Meade could become a regular fixture at senior homes. Now that he is nearing 40, time will move quickly and in a few short years -- almost before he knows it -- Meade will be qualified to literally move in and live with his adoring fans.

He did a retirement home a year ago with the "Meadow Street Band". That was one of his three paying gigs of 2018. As Usual, Meade hasn't been asked back. Has the Meadow Street Band broken up or died off?
I wouldn't be surprised if they kicked Meade out so they could start getting gigs again.

Meade has failed at every venture in the entertainment industry he has attempted with one exception. He is okay when he puts on a cow costume which covers his head so people can't look at him or hear him sing. That is how handsome and talented reak people think of Meade.
