There's this song about being in a rock n' roll band and then there's EVERYTHING else.
I performed this karoake-style at a corporate sales function with 4 friends and unplugged instruments at a club in SoCal and had so much fucking fun we got carried away and broke the instruments!
The place went crazy, they didn't even charge us for the instruments!! Sometimes I miss 1989, then again...
Breaking the instruments was a thing there for a while. You were just keeping up a tradition :-)
