I's Cant's Reads Musics

Exactly what the title says (possibly NSFW). Reading music (or anything, for that matter) for me is the equivilant of asking a blind man to read some bizarre foreign sign language while he's being lowered into a pit of piranas who have been genetically modified to have the ability shoot flames underwater.

It's not like I haven't tried to learn this obscure talent. But getting a C- when I tried like hell has not made me very enthusiastic to try again. Besides not practicing, this is one of the major difficulties that has prevented me from being an acceptable guitar player. I've been in bands with people who were exceptionally talented at reading music, including GMU Jazz Major Charlie Himel, but unlike asbestos, it appears that I can't just breathe it in and hope for the best.

However, the ability to read music is not required for rock fame. If anything, it hurts your credibility and makes you seem like a studio dork, although that can help if you need quick money. With this upcoming recession coming up, learning music would be a good skill to have to prevent being homeless for slightly longer that I would if I couldn't read music. If you know how to read it, please tell me.
