being a corporate fan girl is so funny bc I’m using my PTO to go to another state to see a band while my coworkers are using it to go to their kids’ school functions
loving touring is different from loving playing shows. playing live is the language i’ve always communicated through, but touring is something different. you have to love the intensity of what it takes to get to each town and put on that show. and that show has to be something you believe in the depths of you is worth that journey and the journey of your people. and if you truly believe that, then every night on stage is that last night on earth. thats it. you know the schedule ahead of you and that it would be wise to pace yourself, but once you step foot on stage ……. it’s the last night on earth again and agin somehow. i’ve felt this since i did my first tour at 15 in the van. “wawa lights in the rearview was making it…. we just didn’t want to be lonely”. a few kids who just didn’t want be lonely. the band, the crew, the crowd … we just don’t wanna be lonely. it’s simple. bleachers is for anyone, not everyone. we gotta protect what we have and protect each other. can’t be elite about who’s allowed in. just protective. bleachers is for anyone, not everyone.
Think I’m the luckiest man alive. I was so overwhelmed yesterday I couldn’t even look at my phone. I can’t believe the response and the kindness from strangers, I’ll be here as long as you’ll have me
