That 58 is a veteran. It’s been sprayed, beatboxed, licked, dropped, farted on, licked again, inserted into various orifices, used as a guitar pick, a drum stick, a strapon, a fork, a syringe, a blackjack. It’s seen death. It’s seen down the bassist’s pants. It’s been a medium for sounds that weren’t meant for this universe. One or two people probably even sang into it.
You will respect the 58. It’s survived more than you ever could.
Gospel!
I bet the in-between acts stagehand guy that wipes down mics has an incredible built-up immune system.

Lol… No one wipes anything down. Ever… Fucking EVER.
If you touch music gear in a venue, might as well just dip your hand in a strangers ass and then eat some chocolate covered pretzels.
