Right on Jay, Here's some of mine:

Bad things:
1> Someone detunes your axe in between sets...it happened.
2> Playing an outdoor gig surrounded by 50,000 Volts and its starts to rain....hard...with wind.
3> Playing overseas and you have to use jumper cables to ground your power transformer to a metal pole....really I had to.
4> Drunk bass player knocks the power transformer off the stage during a set.
5> Drunk drummer ends a song in the middle of your solo.
6> Drunk guy hits on your wife and she beats the snot out of him with a broom during the set.
7> You play Ozzy and folks yell "Free Bird"
8> Drunks that didn't score talk your damn ear off when you're trying to pack up.
9> You're a metal band and the owner comes up and says "Get 'em dancin"

Good things:
1> You meet alot of people - mostly drunks
2> You can mess up bad and noone notices
3> Free drinks
4> Hopefully, you get paid
2> You have a great time playing
...another toy, to help destroy, the elder race of man
