Dave Grohl On A Field

I was sitting in the middle of my local green, sitting there with 2 friends. Suddenly, Dave Grohl (For those sad people who don't know him, he's the Foo Fighters vocalist/guitarist, Nirvana drummer) and his sound crew came and sat about 10 meters away from us. We sat there for a minute, and suddenly his sound manager came over and told us that he's heard big things about me playing guitar. So I was chuffed, but we carried on sitting. Suddenly he came over again and told us that he wanted us to play for him. So instead of going over to him and playing, this is what we did...
The manager took me down a road that my friend lives down, a coldysack. The curbs were all marked off with red and white stripy tape on posts, like it was a police investigation. We were planning a suprise. We were going to sneak up on him and play. And as I did so, he was with other musicians, and he was holding a guitar. The moment seemed perfect, I was about to unleash an incredible guitar solo followed by a heavy metal riff... he looked at me with amazemnt...but instead I played a mediocre note of a death metal song, then a bit of puff the magic dragon and a bad solo made up from a basic pentatonic scale. His face changed from amazed to thoroughly dissapointed.
