Ancient history...
Demographics. It's a business thing.
Regarding paintball demographics, the typical age of most paintball players, falls somewhere between 12 and 21. I was reminded of this when I received an e-mail asking, "what does 'Garden Party' have to do with paintball?" ( referring to a post I made on 5.16.07)
Garden Party is the title of a song that hit the charts in 1972 written by a 50's teen icon turned singer/song writer named Rick(y) Nelson. Yeah, yeah, I know - over 20 years before many of the players at T-Square were born.
It's one of those "American Pie" songs. Oh, wait. None of you remember American Pie, either.
It's a song filled with obscure references and insider info that leaves the listener wondering just what was the singer/writer trying to say. (Was "Hughes" really about Dylan selling out or was it a reference to George Harrison, a friend of Nelson's? And were they really booing Nelson or were they heckling the two drunks and the police in the back of the crowd?)
Anyway. The chorus goes:
"But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, you can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself."
Like I said, it's one of those songs.
And I'm still learning.
