Shag Town

For fans of Roots, Rock, Reggae worldwide

I used to think that getting crushed by thousands of pounds of steel would be one of the worst hazards of my working life, but of course that's before I learned the often funny side of being an entertainer.

OK, you ever go to the bathroom and got nervous? Admit it, you have! Especially when you're in a crowded place, the feeling of being in the company of others while doing something you normally only do alone is a little uncomfortable. Now, ramp it up to the level of some nights guys like starting conversations while you're, you know, going! This is something that happens to me a lot.

That wouldn't be so bad, but then there's nights in some bathrooms where guys walk into the stall next to me and yell out "HO SHAG TOWN! I like make one requests!" Hilarity ensues, every time. I get asked a LOT of music questions, while, you know, "going." "Who sings such and such..." or "Ho Shags, What you doing HERE?!" (I often answer that one, "peeing?") I've debated radio in general, differences in DJs and radio stations, format, how to get songs in to Q... all while, you know, "going." I've had so many requests yelled over stalls in public restrooms that you could say it rivals my phone callers. Oh yea, and I more often than not get asked, "Ho Shag, who's dat CHICK?!" (I usually don't know...)

All the time while I'm, you know, going.

What's the weirdest thing that happens to YOU in a bathroom?

Wow, Beb... that sucks royal 'ass' Not only is it uncomfortable, but not to be rude you reply don't you?! Don't You?! Maybe you should just be a prick DJ and tell them to fuck off while you're having a moment with yourself. I mean seriously, who's idea was it to only make a fully surrounded stall for women and a 'divider' if that, for men? Why?! Whats the shame in it? Just cuz we have to sit and pee? Come on now, guys should have the luxury of privacy for more than just poop. Is that sexist? Or maybe its not sexist, but empowering for them. Hmmm, it could be just an all ego thing- At least you only have half a chance of having to ask the person next to you if you could 'have' some of their toilet paper and embarassingly having to reach out and wait... and if by chance, there is no one in the stall next to you, then hell you're screwed but at least you'll be conversation free =)

this is some funny posting!
Back at your BD celebration at Lulu's in Lahaina, I went to the bathroom and there was no one in there.I did my thing and as I went up to the counter to wash up, I heard a toilet flush, and seen a puff of smoke by a stall. i tripped out! because there was no one in there. it was strange. but i have only gone back to lulu's only once since and had a good time. in the bathroom and all! LOL
but i must admit i avoid all public restrooms as much as possible, ask any of my friends, i would rather go any where in nature! oops TMI? LMAO
thanks
