Bush League Quiz

The Grateful Dead had the Deadheads, but Big Blow has the Bush League: a pathetic group of people willing to travel vast distances to see the band, and who have mysterious urges to wear weird hats and play weirder instruments, in public.

Here's a quick quiz to find out if you qualify:

Have you traveled more than 30 miles to see a Big Blow concert?
Does your round-trip travel time usually exceed the duration of the concert?
Can you name three or more instruments played by each band member?
Have you seriously considered the purchase of a hat which your "significant other" would never let you wear in public?
Do you wear it?
Have you attended Big Blow concerts in two or more states?
Have you considered learning to play any of the following instruments (one point each):
- Didjeridu
- Musical Saw
- Nose Flute
Have you actually played one at a Big Blow concert?
Do you think the HMT is a vision of paradise on earth?
What about hardware stores?
Have you declined an invitation to a social occasion because it would have conflicted with attending a Big Blow show?
Can you pronounce Plehn?

Scoring:
If your score is 1-4, you're already under the influence, but it's not yet hopeless. If your total was 5-8, you're a Bush Leaguer. If you scored 9-12, you should consider listening to clasical music or jazz periodically as an antidote. If your total was over 13, please remember that band members and their families are not eligible to be Bush Leaguers.

(My score is 12, as of March 1997)

Who are these Bush Leaguers? A few have been fool-, er, brave enough to submit biographies.
