Sent the mail through the post

The Silversun Pickups played in my city last night. I did not go.

Sometimes I wonder what the life is like of a band on tour. This band is playing almost every sequential night in a different city. It sounds exhausting to me to perform late at night after opening acts, pack everything up, sleep somewhere, move on to the next city and repeat.

I have no musical ability so that life is very far from my personal realm.

There was a time in my life I would have loved that. Not now.

The tour bus would become a kind of home, I'd think.

Jon Linell once said that after a while, you get tired of how the other guy breathed. (TMBG, from an interview with Jon Stewart? Letterman? as seen on the documentary Gigantic.)

you can become a roadie - experience the life sans the musical abilities :)
