Drummers Aren't Real Musicians (Proof)

Drummers aren't real musicians, and it was proven over a quarter of a century ago, in an episode of the amazing TV show Northern Exposure. As often happened on the show, the line between "visions," dream-sequences and reality was blurred.

 Shelley was two weeks behind schedule delivering her baby. She was concerned about why the baby was late, and get into a bit of a headtrip about how maybe the baby didn't want to be born, and what her future would be like. 

 On three different trips to the laundromat she "saw" three different versions of her as-yet-unborn daughter, with the same name they were thinking of naming the baby, Miranda, or Randi for short. Shelley saw Randi in three stages of life- first as a little girl playing with Barbies, rhen as a young teen and finally as a young adult, almost her age. 

 The teen Tandi played drums in a band called "Icefog," which is an excellent name anyway, but perfect for a show set in Alaska. Shelley, who was really into music, lit up and said "Cool! So you're musical." She didn't say "You're a musician," so I reckon that proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Oh well...back to banging logs with branches.
